The campus is only a short drive from the busy market town of Newport where many of the University's students live during their time out of campus residences. The town has a range of small shops, with some national chains, major supermarkets, including a branch of Waitrose, and a lively market. The town also has three excellent secondary schools, including a boys’ selective school and a girls’ high school, both of which perform exceptionally in the national school’s league tables.

Birmingham and Manchester are also within easy reach both with main train connections and international airports.

The wider county has many attractions, including the World Heritage Site at Ironbridge, Ludlow with its famous food and arts festivals, and a wide range of agricultural events that take place during the summer season. Outdoor activities are just on the doorstep and extend to many places to visit just over the border into Wales.
