Stow Hill is a community civil parish and coterminous electoral district (ward) of the City of Newport, South Wales.
The community also contains Newport Castle[4] on the banks of the River Usk and St. Woolos Cathedral[5] atop Stow Hill itself.
It is also the location of Havelock Street Presbyterian Church where, in 1887, the Boys' Brigade movement in Wales was founded by George Philip Reynolds.
Apart from the Central Business District of Newport, there is also a significant resident population here in a relatively small area.
[6] Following a boundary review to improve electoral parity, the Mon Bank development would be transferred from the neighbouring Pillgwenlly ward, effective from the 2022 local elections.
