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.

Ffwrwm Arts and Crafts Centre is nestled in the historic Roman settlement of Caerleon. Turn off the high street through the historic arch and over the cobblestones and you'll find an eighteenth century walled courtyard teeming with an extraordinary collection of sculptures celebrating Caerleon's Roman past and its place in legend as Camelot - the court of King Arthur. Among them are carvings of The Mabinogion - the ancient tales of Wales - and - at 44 feet long - the world's largest lovespoon. Around the sculpture garden - which is free to visit - Ffwrwm also brings together shops: a goldsmiths, craft and gift shops selling eco-friendly and fairtrade goods, a hairdressers, an holistic therapy clinic and the award-winning The Snug restaurant and cafe. Ffwrwm Arts is a place for people to come together and to share. We are here for the community and we offer all of you a very warm welcome.
