The bridge at Newbridge-on-Usk

Newbridge-on-Usk (Welsh: Pontnewydd ar Wysg) is a hamlet in the village and parish of Tredunnock, near Usk, Monmouthshire, south east Wales, in the United Kingdom.

Location

[edit]

Newbridge-on-Usk is located on the River Usk 5 miles (8 km) to the north of Newport in the Vale of Usk. Situated below the steep Wentwood escarpment, it lies between the historic towns of Caerleon and Usk, about 4 miles (6.4 km) from the junction 24 of the M4 motorway via the B4237 Coldra, B4236 and Catsash Road.

History and amenities

[edit]

At the river is the Newbridge Inn, once owned by radio and television presenter Chris Evans.[1] The inn is owned and run by the Celtic Manor Resort.[2]

The elegant red sandstone three-arched New Bridge dates from 1779 and is said to have been designed by William Edwards. It is Grade II* listed.[3] It stands at the Normal Tidal Limit (NTL) of the River Usk.[4]
