Location Benefits and Local Amenities

Caerleon is a historic Roman village situated approximately three miles from Newport City Centre. The development is strategically located for commuting, with easy access to the M4 corridor which provides a circa 15-20 minute drive to Newport City Centre and its main rail station, and quick connections to the major cities of Cardiff and Bristol.

For public transport, the Newport Bus line 27 operates a direct service from Caerleon (e.g., Hanbury Arms) to Clarence Place in Newport City Centre, with a journey time of only 10-11 minutes and services running approximately every 15 minutes.

Local amenities are centred in the nearby Roman Village, offering a selection of pubs, village shops, and restaurants, including The Village Bakery, Bistro On The Green, and the historic Priory Hotel & Restaurant.
