Langstone is an electoral district (ward) and smaller community (parish) of the city of Newport. It is situated on the eastern edge of the city and is one of Newport's more affluent areas. Some of the ward is hilly and heavily forested. It is bounded to the north and east by the city boundary, to the west by the Caerleon ward and to the south west by the Ringland and Llanwern wards. The ward contains the parishes of Penhow and Llanvaches, as well as the parish of Langstone (population 2,770[1]). The parish itself contains the hamlets of Llanbeder, Llandevaud and Llanmartin as well as Langstone itself.
