The Gaer estate was one of the first estates built in Newport after the Second World War. All of the streets are named after writers. A Festival of Britain award was received for the design of the estate http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/621755 . Built in a hilly area in the west of Newport, it gives extensive views over Newport Docks and the Severn Estuary. The Uskmouth power station complex is to the right of centre. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5530008 for the view to the left of this one.
