High Cross is a sought after residential area on the fringes of Newport in the parish of Rogerstone.
The local landmark is Fourteen Locks, a series of locks, also known as the Cefn Flight, on the Crumlin arm of the Monmouthshire Canal. The flight of locks was completed in 1799 and raises the water level 160 feet (50 m) in just 800 yards (740 m). This is one of the steepest rises for a major run in the UK which, combined with the sheer number of locks, makes it one of the most significant in the country.
There is an abundance of footpaths associated with Fourteen Locks through undulating meadows linking with Cefn Wood.
Communications are excellent with the M4 (J27) within 2 miles and the B4591 leading to the civic centre. Cardiff, Newport and Bristol are readily accessible by road and rail. The British Rail mainline station at Newport provides a regular train service to London Paddington in less than 2 hours and westbound to Cardiff and Swansea. Both Cardiff and Bristol airports offer a wide range of domestic, charter and international flights.
Newport is considered the gateway to South Wales noted for its fine civic centre, international hotel and golf course at Celtic Manor, which recently hosted the 2010 Ryder Cup. Newport 2020: unlimited vision is a master plan creating a more sustainable City which will become a model waterfront community.
