Separated from the
city centre by the
M4 motorway, the area includes the
Fourteen Locks, a flight of canal locks on the
Crumlin arm of the Monmouthshire Canal. There is a large open area known as Cefn Wood at the north end of High Cross. Local amenities include High Cross Primary School St. Anne's church and hall, part of the parish of Bassaleg, closed in 2020 (
Church in Wales). The site has reopened as High Cross Community Hall and is run by 28th Newport Scout Group. ==References==
