Dixton (Welsh: Llandydiwg) is a small village located 1 mile (1.6 km) north east of Monmouth, on the banks of the River Wye, in Monmouthshire, south east Wales.
[1] According to the antiquarian Sabine Baring-Gould the name Dixton ultimately derives from that of the saint Tydiwg, or Tydiuc, to whom the parish church was dedicated.
[10] Newton Court was built in 1799-1802 for George Griffin, possibly to the designs of architect Anthony Keck (d.1797) of King's Stanley, Gloucestershire.
Dixton Mound is an oval earthwork of unknown origin about 2m high and 40m diameter at its widest point.
[13] Dixton was served by trains at Monmouth May Hill across the River Wye.
