Wentloog (also known as Wentlloog and Wentllooge) was an ancient hundred of Monmouthshire. It was also known as Newport hundred.[1]

It was situated in the western part of the county, bounded to the north by Brecknockshire; on the east by the hundreds of Abergavenny, Usk and Caldicot; on the south by the Bristol Channel, and on the west by Glamorganshire. Wentloog is an anglicisation of the Welsh Gwynllŵg, the name of the early kingdom and medieval cantref.

  • Bedwas
  • Bedwellty
  • Bettws
  • Coedkernew

  • Mynyddislwyn
  • Newport
  • Peterstone Wentlooge

The area is now administered by several local authorities, in particular Newport, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent and Caerphilly.
