Llandegveth, Newport, NP18 1HY

Llandegveth lies within the NP 18 postal district of Newport in south Wales. The area is characterised by the presence of the Sôr Brook, a right‑bank tributary of the River Usk. The brook flows largely within Monmouthshire and forms part of the boundary with Torfaen in some sections. Its upper reaches were submerged when the Llandegfedd Reservoir was created in May 1965. From beneath the dam the watercourse continues southwards, passing Llandegveth before joining the Usk in its tidal reach approximately one kilometre northeast of Caerleon. The brook’s proximity to the locality suggests a rural setting with access to natural water features and a connection to the wider Usk catchment area.
