Trail There’s a Heritage Trail around this tiny town which, believe it or not, was one of the most important military sites in Britain under the Roman Empire. Channel 4’s Time Team made some amazing finds during their dig here last summer. Caerleon is also home to the legend of King Arthur and there’s an online quest that takes you to five important sites in the town.
Main attractions Roman baths, barracks, amphitheatre and museum.
Independent businesses Don’t miss the traditional Caerleon Hardware, Sourc’d Greengrocers, The Lodge Coffee and Deli, The Giftbox, The Village Bakery and the Ffwrwm, an eclectic array of shops and places to eat in a courtyard setting full of Arthurian-inspired artworks.
Visitor information The Tourist Information Centre is located in High Street and is open all year.
