Great visit you can stroll around the old fortress and see the remains of eight barracks used by the Roman legion based at Caerleon for hundreds of years. Although incomplete the buildings still stand a few feet high and it is easy to visualise the building when they were used. The garrison housed approximately five thousand soldiers. It is also easy to follow the old fortress walls down to the river usk. While you are there you can also wander around the best example of an Amphitheatre in Britain where the remains outline the layout during the use of this for roman games.

Stunning history of the roman bath, and such a great experience going back in time getting a sort of feeling on how the romans in ancient Britain used to live.

Informative and looked-after archeological site, museum and Roman baths. Highly recommend to visit.

Superb exhibit of rare (in Britain) Roman outdoor bath. Staff are welcoming and informative. Parking requires the RingGo parking app or coins as the carpark is owned by the pub next door. If you don't want to visit the pub (to get parking for free) park at the Amphitheatre instead as it is only a short walk.

We spent a couple of hours exploring Caerleon. The baths were fascinating although my grand daughter wasn't impressed she's 5! Lots of local roman history with lots still undiscovered it seems. We also walked up to the museum which is free and filled with great things to look at. We also found the amphitheatre and barracks. Worth a visit and a wander. You have to pay to park at the baths, but you could park at the amphitheatre and walk down, all are close. Worth an hour or two.
