Newport is a city and unitary authority area in southeast Wales. It's located on the River Usk close to its confluence with the Severn Estuary and is the third-largest city in Wales. Newport has been a port since medieval times, with its initial growth being driven by the export of coal from the South Wales Valleys.

Ebbw Vale is a town located in the county of Blaenau Gwent, South Wales. It was historically a significant steel-making and coal mining town and, like many towns in the South Wales Valleys, has experienced significant economic and social changes over the last century.

Monmouth is a historic market town and the county town of Monmouthshire, located in southeast Wales. It's situated at the confluence of the River Monnow and the River Wye.

The castle is also notable as the birthplace of Henry V in 1387.
