This estate was built on a hilly area on the western edge of Newport. As can be seen in this view, terraces were created to accommodate a number of the roads. It 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 and a plaque commemorating this is displayed on one of the houses http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/621751 . Dandelions and cuckooflowers http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5757011 are in the foreground. The grass here has been left unmown as part of Newport's Bee Friendly initiative.
