About

Ridgeway and Glasllwch form a largely residential quarter to the north-east of Newport city centre. The area takes its name from Ridgeway, a long, raised road that gives several streets a straight, linear layout and some houses clear sightlines across the city. Housing here ranges from interwar terraces to postwar semis and newer infill, with small clusters of local shops and services sited along the main roads. Regular bus routes connect the neighbourhood to Newport’s centre and the commercial areas to the south.

Green space is a notable part of everyday life: Glasllwch includes a stretch of mixed woodland and permissive paths that local people use for short walks and dog-walking, while pocket parks and playing fields provide places for informal sport. Community activities tend to centre on school and church halls and on the small parade of shops, which together create a steady, residential rhythm rather than a tourist focus. The long straight of Ridgeway and the wooded strip in Glasllwch are recurring features on local maps and in everyday journeys.
