Where to stay in Pillgwenlly
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Newport's rooms sit outside the district; Pillgwenlly runs to chapels, houses and the odd listed building rather than hotels, so a bed near Newport Museum and Art Gallery gives the easier base. Rodney Parade changes that on match days. Anyone here for a fixture will want the Corporation Road side, where St Paul's Church and the Baptist chapel stand along the way.
Pilgwenlli is the same place.

About Pillgwenlly
What are the main landmarks in Pillgwenlly?
Chapels outnumber everything else. St Paul's Church, St Michael's Roman Catholic Church, the United Reformed Church and Corporation Road Baptist Chapel give the district four places of worship on the record, and the Deanery stands with them. Rodney Parade carries the sport.
The Rustic Tea House and the Malt House complete the roll, with Newport Museum and Art Gallery keeping the city's collections under the same Newport listing.
What is the history of Pillgwenlly?
Two spellings, one district. The name appears as Pillgwenlly and officially as Pilgwenlli, and the buildings the record keeps, the Deanery, the Malt House, the Rustic Tea House, carry trades and offices in their names rather than dates. Congregations left the clearest mark.
Corporation Road Baptist Chapel, the United Reformed Church and St Michael's Roman Catholic Church each hold a listing of their own within Newport, a set that puts the chapel-building of this district on record more fully than anything else.
Where is Pillgwenlly?
Streets do the bounding here. Pillgwenlly is one of Newport's districts, with listings that run from St Paul's Church to the Malt House and the Deanery.
