About

St Julians and Barnardtown sit on the east bank of the River Usk, immediately northeast of Newport city centre. The area mixes Victorian terraces and later housing, with St Julians crossed by the road toward Caerleon and Barnardtown arranged in a compact grid of short streets that run down toward the river. Local shops and small workshops occupy the ground floors along key streets, while back lanes and ginnels recall the neighbourhood’s 19th‑century development linked to nearby industry.

Community amenities include primary schools, a community centre and riverside walking routes that follow the Usk’s east bank. Railway lines and road links give straightforward access to the city centre without bringing large-scale commercial development into the streets themselves. On quieter mornings you can see fishing lines cast from low stone steps at the water’s edge, and the pattern of narrow terraced plots still shapes how streets meet the river.
