Caerleon Attractions

Follow the banks of the Usk for 3mi/5km northwest of Newport to reach the suburb of Caerleon, called Isca Silurum by the Romans.
Roman Amphitheatre (Fortress, Baths)
Caerleon contains remains of the fortress of the Second Legion, established about A.D.70 and abandoned about A.D.140. There are some well-preserved sections of walling, and the amphitheater is the only one in Britain to have been completely excavated.
