Goldcliff, Newport
Goldcliff ((ウェールズ語:Allteuryn)) is a village and community parish to the south east of the city of Newport in Wales. It lies within the Newport city boundaries in the historic county of Monmouthshire and the preserved county of Gwent.
== Origin of the English name ==
The name is said to have originated from the silicious limestone cliff, standing about 60 feet high, at Hill Farm, rising over a great bed of yellow mica which breaks the level at the shore and has a glittering appearance in sunshine, especially to ships passing in the Bristol Channel. Giraldus Cambrensis, who toured Wales in 1188 refers to it as "Gouldclyffe" and describes it in Latin as "...glittering with a wonderful brightness".〔Bradney, Sir Joseph, ''A History of Monmouthshire, Vol 4 part 2: The Hundred of Caldicot'' (Part 2). pub 1914, reprinted 1994, Merton Priory Press.〕
