Amazing. Let your imagination run wild, as you stroll through some ancient history at this old Roman ruins in Wales. What really took place here? How many people were sitting in the old amphitheater watching. Awesome stuff! A must see!
I can't believe I haven't been here until this year after having lived my whole life less than an hour away! Really interesting site - plenty of families with children playing about - would be ideal for outdoor theatre in the summer! Plenty of free parking nearby, and lots more Roman remains to see around the town.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Good place to visit for an afternoon stroll. The ruins could do with a few placards to say what the various features are as they do in Tintern Abbey. Did not do the wall walk as it was overgrown. However. these are small niggles that did not spoil the overall experience.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Lovely piece of history which is easily accessible and free to visit. Our two boys enjoyed looking at the Amphitheatre and imagining what it would of been like in Roman times. We also visited the nearby museum and Roman baths which were also very interesting, the museum was free and the baths were around £15 for a family of 4.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Will worth a visit when in the town. Free, surprisingly well preserved. Could do with a little more explanatory signage there's only 1 sign up above the area Parking next to it or on the road - don't bother with the paid one next to the baths.
Easy access from the car park. Dog friendly place. Access to the site is free. From April 1 through October 31, the site is open daily from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.. From November 1 through March 31, the site is open from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. Last entry is always 30 minutes before closing. This Roman amphitheater is said to be King Arthur's legendary Round Table. Built around AD 90 to entertain the legionaries stationed at the fort of Caerleon Isca, this impressive amphitheatre was the Roman equivalent of today’s multiplex cinema. Wooden benches provided seating for up to 6,000 spectators, who would gather to watch bloodthirsty displays featuring gladiatorial combat and exotic wild animals. Long after the Romans left, the amphitheatre took on a new life in Arthurian legend. Geoffrey of Monmouth, the somewhat imaginative 12th-century scholar, wrote in his History of the Kings of Britain that Arthur was crowned in Caerleon and that the ruined amphitheatre was actually the remains of King Arthur’s Round Table.
Very interesting place. Great for a pleasant walk, especially with children.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoParking spacePlenty of parkingParking optionsPaid parking lot
A gorgeous landmark to visit in all weathers. It's lovely to see a place with such a rich history so well protected and maintained.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
A beautiful piece of history. I never knew it existed until I saw it for myself. I would suggest standing right in the middle to help immerse yourself! There could be some more information around the Amphitheatre as I found myself having to look to google to find out more, I find it's less fun that way. It was a rainy day so I would suggest bringing some solid shoes even for light rain as the grass is quite long. I also went for a walk around the corner to the river which was lovely.
Ruins of what looks to be a very picturesque Roman Amphitheatre. Sadly on the day I visited no access was allowed due to bad weather rain??.
