Romans & Ruins
You begin this tour with a visit to one of Europe's most astonishing Roman military sites at Caerleon - "Fort of the Legion". Explore the amphitheatre where gladiators fought to their death, the bath house around which much of a Roman soldiers life revolved and the National Legionary Museum displaying all the archaeology of a way of life which existed almost 2000 years ago.
You cross the majestic Usk and Wye rivers to reach the spectacular monastic ruin at Tintern Abbey, trailing in the footseps of the Cistercian monks with tales of dedication and treachery.
Following a lunch stop at the nearby Abbey Mill Craft Centre, and maybe a walk along the banks of the Wye river, you continue onto Raglan Castle described as the finest late-medieval fortress in Britain with astonishing views of the Monmouthshire countryside along the way.
