Newport itself has lots of historical landmarks to visit. For instance, there are all the old pubs like Ye Olde Murenger House, a 19th-century pub with a mock Tudor front. 

Newport Castle is a 14th-century castle that was sacked in 1402 and left in disrepair during the English Civil War. It has since become a regular tourist destination for visitors of Newport.
