About

Caerleon sits along the River Usk, northwest of Newport's city centre. The area is defined by its historical legacy as a major Roman fortress, known as Isca Augusta. This past is visible in excavated sites like the amphitheatre and barracks. The modern settlement functions as a distinct village, with residential streets, local shops, and pubs centred around its High Street. The riverfront and surrounding green spaces provide a contrast to the urban archaeological remains.

The ward's identity is deeply intertwined with its Roman history, which dominates its landscape and cultural focus. The National Roman Legion Museum offers a central point for this heritage. Beyond the ruins, Caerleon contains a campus of the University of South Wales and a mix of housing, from older terraces to newer developments. The annual Roman military re-enactments draw visitors, but the community maintains a quiet, village-like atmosphere separate from the main city.
