3 Best Landmarks in Newport, UK

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.

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.

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.

A large expanse of open green around the amphitheatre with a little short walk across from the entrance to the actual site. You need to go down a few steps to get to base level and walk out into the theatre as you cry out "For Rome!". It's really an amazing structure. Very steep sides from the top so watch out if with children.

This place is just a goldmine full of Roman ruins and artifacts! We went for a day trip, but really we needed at least two days to visit all the different ruins and visitor attractions. If you have an interest in history and especially the Roman empire, then this place is definitely well worth a visit.

Very interesting visit. I would point out that it's worth reading up details on the internet before your visit. This will give you much more information than you will get when you're there. This really helps with the experience.
