Caerleon was home to the Romans, you can see evidence of their occupation from as far back as 74-300AD. The Roman baths and the amphitheater are well worth a visit. The beautiful castle wall is unique.

Recommended by a previous resident and I must admit, it’s a jewel that I had quite forgotten. Home to Lords, Kings and an inspiration to poets, t’s definitely worth a visit. It’s near Usk too which is a riverside town perfect for lunch!

My favourite Indian restaurant. It had a challenging time over COVID but has since recovered and hired a great chef. Been going here for over 20 years. Apparently they’ve stopped serving alcohol but you can BYO.

If you think you've been to Swansea and its been a few year, go again. It's changed so much over recent years. With lots of regeneration happening, its the place to be if you're a student, a family, a mature person. It used to be fab when I was a teen but I just love the beaches and the town.

周邊交通資訊

Buses are the fastest way to get around

You're very near the train station and the town centre. Its so easy to get a bus amost anywhere from the bus station about 15 min walk. If you need to get somewhere fast, book a taxi. Dragon Taxi or Chow taxi are the longest serving. Train to Cardiff and Bristol is also super easy...but you know that don't you :-)
