Malpas is a largely residential suburb and community on the eastern side of Newport, Wales, that grew up as the city expanded in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a mix of private and former council housing, local shops, schools and community facilities, and benefits from green corridors along the nearby River Usk and access to the reedbeds and birdlife of the Newport Wetlands, giving residents easy routes for walks and wildlife watching.
Economically it sits between traditional Newport industry and a modern commuter culture, with good road links onto the M4 and fast rail and bus connections into Cardiff and the wider region. The area retains a strong community feel, with parish and neighbourhood groups active in local events and improvements, reflecting its blend of urban convenience and easy access to riverside and countryside amenities.
