Newport City Guide |
When people think of Newport they oftentimes don’t think of England, but the fact of the matter is that Newport is a very small village in Worcestershire, England. Newport is often called the Jewel of the Cotswolds and this has much to do with its location, which is beneath Fish Hill. The village got its name of Newport from the wide grass lined main street. The main street is built around The Green. The Green is quite beautiful as it is lined with chestnut trees as well as limestone buildings. These buildings, in some cases, date back to the 16th century giving the village a very old world feel.
Newport was originally a stagecoach stopping place along the route that extended from Worcester to London. During this time and afterward it became home to many artists who found the surroundings inspirational and being off the beaten path often got them away from the bright lights of fame. Some of the people who called Newport home were the writer Elgar, John Singer Sargent, and William Morris among others. The village is a draw for many artists who simply want to touch the ground where so many other artists called home.
Today Newport attracts many who love the arts as well as those who love antiques. Tourism is the mainstay off the village that features many beautiful hotels such as The Newport Hotel, the Barcelo Lygon Arms Hotel, and many bed and breakfasts, as well as cottages for rent. There are many attractions that draw the tourists to the area such as the Gordon Russell Museum, the Newport Tower, and the Newport Country Park. Additional interests in the area include Chpping Campden, Snowshill village, Snowshill Manor, and the Cotswold Way. Many people who come to the region enjoy horse riding as well as walking the streets of the old village.
