Always a favourite place to visit especially good for history buffs. An amazing place to take children as they can get caught in the uniforms, the amphitheatre and the life of a Roman soldier in the mock up of a barrack room and visiting the bath house. A good day out plenty of great eateries close by to keep everyone well and truly satisfied.
Really informative museum, with a lot crammed in to a comparatively small space though plenty of breathing room - it never felt cramped. The Roman garden out back was really pleasant as well, and staff were really helpful in providing information and one was kind enough to refill my water bottle. Great spot - hugely recommended for those interested in Romano-British history.
The museum was an excellent experience. Entry is free and there is a thorough amount of exhibits to go through. Of particular interest were the several full sized models of Roman soldiers of various ranks, completed with armour and weaponry. The outside garden, with various plants that were used in the time of Roman Britain were fascinating as well. There was also an abundance of fascinating artefacts recovered from the local areas on display.
Fascinating insight into Roman life at the fort with loads of finds on display. There are some recreations of soldiers' uniforms as well as a barrack room set up in the way it would have been. Kids can try on legionary armour and there are play sets as well. Out the back is a Roman garden with a little house at the end - on holidays there is a re-enactor dressed up offering info on weapons and Roman medicine. Well worth a visit. It's free, with an option to donate £5 - it's brilliant, so well worth supporting
Great museum, not very big but so much to see! Friendly and knowledgeable staff, lovely Roman style garden, good shop, and Free Entry! Well worth a visit!
Small but perfectly formed. The admission is free but you can make a donation. This is well worth an hour of anyone's time and combined with a visit to the nearby Amphitheatre is a great day.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Don't be fooled by the small size - there's a huge amount to see in here. Well organised, very informative signs and descriptions. It's well worth a visit if in the area - you'll likely spend far longer in here than planned. Combine it with the amphitheatre and barracks a few hundred metres away and the baths. One problem, use the free car parking by the amphitheatre or barracks about 3 mins walk away. Do NOT use the pay and display by the baths owned by the pub. They employ SmartParking who are well known scam artists and run the risk of getting fined despite having a valid ticket and needing to spend weeks fighting it. It's not worth risking it.
Really great little museum, and garden, plenty to see and read, definitely worth a visit, go to the baths first then come here, there brilliant.
Fascinating museum detailing the life of Roman soldiers in and around Carleon as well as the greater Roman world as a whole! Especially interesting was the guy dressed up in full Roman army auxiliary regalia who explained everything and anything related. His breadth of knowledge seemed to know no bounds, he's in the midst of his PHD which I believe is on Ancient History. Excellent museum!!
Fantastic displays, containing some of the best Roman artefacts you'll ever see. The lead bread stamps, used to mark loaves to show who they belonged to. Are a particular favourite of ours! The Recreated Roman garden space is worth seeing too! The grapes were a lovely surprise.
