Uskmouth is a small village located in Monmouthshire, Wales. Situated on the banks of the River Usk, it is approximately 2 miles southeast of the city of Newport. The village falls within the Newport City Council area.

The area has a rich history, with evidence of human activity dating back to the Roman era. Uskmouth was an important port during the medieval period, serving as a hub for trading goods along the River Usk. The village was also a center for shipbuilding and had a thriving coal industry in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Today, Uskmouth is primarily a residential area with a close-knit community. The village offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the scenic river. The area is popular with nature enthusiasts, as it provides ample opportunities for walking, bird watching, and fishing.

One of the notable landmarks in Uskmouth is the Uskmouth Power Station, a coal-fired power plant that was decommissioned in 2020. Plans are currently underway to convert the site into a sustainable energy park, which will include a biomass power plant and potentially other renewable energy sources.

Uskmouth benefits from its proximity to Newport, which offers a range of amenities, including shopping centers, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The village is well-connected, with good transport links to nearby towns and cities, making it an attractive place to live for those seeking a balance between rural and urban living.
