Malpas is a residential ward and suburb to the north‑west of Newport, Wales, lying a short drive from the city centre. It is mainly housing with a mix of housing from different periods, served by local schools, shops and community facilities, and is popular with commuters thanks to good road links into the city and surrounding employment areas.
The ward has a quiet, community‑focused feel with small green spaces and local groups active in neighbourhood life; its development followed Newport’s industrial and post‑war expansion so it combines older streets with more modern estates. Economically it’s largely residential with local retail and services rather than large commercial centres, and its history and identity are closely tied to the broader growth of Newport.
