About

Stow Hill rises sharply from the city centre, forming a distinct residential neighbourhood with steep, winding streets. The area is dominated by terraced housing from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, built on the slopes overlooking the city below. Its elevated position provides clear views across Newport and towards the River Usk. The hill creates a quiet, separate atmosphere just steps from the main urban bustle.

The area is anchored by St Woolos Cathedral, a historic site of worship with architecture spanning centuries, which sits prominently near the hill's crest. Local life centres on a small cluster of independent shops and services along Stow Hill itself. A network of narrow lanes and staircases, like those near Lysaght Institute, connects the different levels of the neighbourhood, shaping its intimate, village-like character within the city.
