Caerleon Station, Newport
Caerleon is a suburban town situated on the River Usk 3 .5 miles outside Newport with archaeological significance dating back to the Roman times In 74 AD the Roman Miltary Fortress of Isca was found here by the Second Augustan Legion. The town remained of historical importance through the centuries through the the settlement of various tribes such as the Vikings, Saxons, the 15 Century Welsh Revolt of Owain Glyndwr and serving as a port in the 19th C Industrial Revolution for its mills and tin works.
Today Caerleon remains a small quiet town with some history. It is isolated from the public railway network with the remains of an old railway station, the possible phased closure of the St Cadoc's Hospital and the University campus building.
