A Roman Re-enactment in the amphitheatre Caerleon.

Caerleon was the site of one of Britain's three permanent Roman Legionary Fortresses, and many believe it to be the location of King Arthur's Camelot.
In 830 AD Nennius listed Cair Lion as one of Britain's 33 cities. Nowadays it's a thriving town, where past and present combine to delight both visitors and residents.
