Some of the ward is hilly and heavily forested. It is bounded to the north and east by the city boundary, to the west by the Caerleon ward and to the south west by the Ringland and Llanwern wards.Development The original village was a small linear settlement along the A48 and its offshoot, Tregarn Road. Since the 1990s , many have moved to the area because of its appeal as being rural , but also minutes away from the M4 motorway. This population influx in the '90s resulted in the construction of a large housing development at the bottom of Cat's Ash Road, together with developments of housing estates , big and small , along Tregarn Road and Magor Road.

In 1891 Kelly's Directory of Monmouthshire noted that Llanbedr was a hamlet , one and a half miles north-east of the parish, on the road from Newport to Chepstow. There were some remains of a church there, being then used as a barn.In July 2018, after a long period of warm dry weather, crop marks of a prehistoric or Roman farm near the village were revealed. The site was recorded by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales before it disappeared again with the next rains.The Schedule of Ancient Monuments has 11 entries for the Langstone ward: Both Pencoed Castle and Penhow Castle fall within the boundaries of Langstone ward.
