National Roman Legion Museum

Reviewed By AndyTigris

Half-term trip with 2 children (7, 11). Went 3 times over the course of 3 days. Great displays and lots of interesting items for all ages, well displayed and aimed at a mixture of abilities. Good interactive material from traditional paper quizzes and fact sheets to more modern media (iPad style). During the holidays (and perhaps weekends ?) a good selection of children's activities including pottery making, dressing up and an excellent 'mock-up' barracks room with a great Legionnaire. Educational staff we encountered were all excellent, particularly for pottery making and the ' Legionnaire - very informative. Would recommend (also free currently).

The Bridge opens for Easter, May, Late Spring and August Bank Holiday Mondays. The last admission is at 4.00 pm for the high level walkway and the last ferry crossing from west to east is at 4.30pm. Newport Transporter Bridge is Grade 1 listed and is one of eight Tranporters remaing world wide. We want everyone to enjoy their visit to the Transporter Bridge. Some aspects of the bridge, especially the climb to the high level, present a challenge. We therefore ask that visitors wishing to climb the bridge follow our safety guidelines.

Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths

The remains on view at Caerleon provide the visitor with a vivid picture of life in second-century Roman Britain. Some 12 miles down the Roman road you will come across Venta Silurum, the first town in Wales and the tribal capital of the Silures. We call it Caerwent today. If you get a chance, pop down to see its surrounding walls and the remains of shops, a Romano-Celtic temple and the forum-basilica. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

This was a second tour of Wales using wherewhenwales.com tours. It was of the Wye Valley area including stops at Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths, Chepstow Castle, Tintern Abbey, and the scenic Wye Valley. Stopped in Monmouth Town for lunch on this day long tour. Very good guide.
