About this place
Ready to march back in time? The National Roman Legion Museum in Caerleon tells the story of life on the edge of the Roman Empire, when this little town was home to thousands of legionaries. Inside you'll discover the treasures they left behind and get a feel for everyday Roman life, from soldiering to what they ate and how they healed. Step outside into the Roman garden, where plants used in Roman medicine are still grown today. The museum runs fun family events through the year, especially in the school holidays, so it's worth checking what's on before you go. Make a full day of it! Caerleon's Roman Baths, the barracks and the amphitheatre are all a short stroll away, so you can see where the soldiers bathed, slept and watched the action. Good to know: entry is free, and you can book a free admission ticket online. Audio-described tours are available on set days if you book ahead.
