Amazing. Really good educational experience. My son and I learned so much about Roman settlement and everything about Romans in general. Great museum, amphitheater, barracks every thing is brilliant and great value for money. Most of it is actually free. You can pay to look around the baths.

OUTSTANDING!! Everything is first class. 1 Sensible entrance fee and good parking 2 Excellent displays, animation and interactive panels. 3 Vivid use of technology 4 Next door free museum has amazing artefacts 5 Nearby amphitheatre brings it all vividly to life. 6 ISCA booklet is engaging, informative and beautifully illustrated. What a WELSH GEM!!

Caerleon is a really nice, vintage, and historic town. It’s very enjoyable to walk around and see the old houses, shops, castle, river, pubs, and bars. A really fabulous place to visit.

The sites are impressively well preserved and clean. Quite fascinating to learn how sophisticated the roman legions were in their engineering abilities. Loved the animated visuals. Overall, a wonderful and informative experience!

The Caerleon Roman Baths was one of the weaker CADW sites we have visited. It was interesting enough, but the information on the baths was weak and not presented well. They have a video playing over the bath to show water effects and people swimming (see my videos posted with the review). Looks okay, but could have been so much better with better effects, scaled more human like people, they were about 9 feet tall and had odd body shapes, etc. The wall board says men and women never bathed together and then you turn around and the image of 2 people swimming in the bath is a man and woman. Again, the info wasn’t presented well. Also the staff weren’t great. They were friendly enough but didn’t seem to know much about it and didn’t seem to want to actually talk to anyone. There was an interesting cavern under the pools that was the old drain from the pools. There is water in it today, probably ground water seeping through. The main water for the baths came from 5 miles away, amazing the work they put into the baths. The other thing that is super neat but not explained well is the heating for the hot room. It had a raised floor and they somehow used the hot air and smoke from a fire to funnel through under the floor and heat the room. Pretty amazing those Romans!
