Caerleon Roman Fortress Baths

Southeast Wales


Like any good Roman town, Caerleon had a grand public bath complex. Parts of the outdoor swimming pool, apodyterium (changing room) and frigidarium (cold room) remain under a protective roof, and give some idea of the scale of the place. Projections of bathers splashing through shimmering water help bring it to life, and there are touch-screen quizzes and dress-ups for the kids.
