Newport is a city in Wales; it is situated on the River Usk and is 12 miles northeast of Cardiff. Newport is the third largest city in Wales.
Newport has recently been named as the 3rd best place to live in the UK, offering enviable views and gently rolling hills. The high-street features Victorian buildings with all the shops, eateries and takeaways you’d expect to find on a high-street. There has been some redevelopment in recent years; £100 million was spent on developing Friars Walk, a retail and leisure scheme that opened in 2015.
There is a good selection of baes, restaurants and entertainment venues including; theatres, cinemas and a bowling alley. If you like to get outdoors then the Brecon Beacons is only 30 minutes away, as is the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding National Beauty.
Houdini got in trouble in Newport. The most famous magician that ever lived had a love for Newport, Wales. He started his very first international tour in Newport in 1905. Houdini may not have been the most popular with the local police, as he showed them up by escaping, completely naked, from the cells. He returned a few years later and jumped handcuffed from Newport Bridge, thousands of people descended on the city to watch him. After all this, Houdini was summonsed to appear in front of the magistrate for obstructing a public highway, but he walked away without even a fine.
