Brief Description:

Caerwent was originally founded by the Romans as a market town. The modern village is built around the Roman ruins, which are some of the best-preserved in Europe.

"During World War II, a Royal Navy Propellant Factory was established at Caerwent, immediately north of the A48 road. Between 1967 and 1993, this was used as a storage station for the Royal Air Force and the United States Army; since that time it has been used as an army training facility and on occasion as a filming location for TV episodes such as Doctor Who "Before the Flood" [14] and large-scale productions such as Captain America: The First Avenger.[15]

Caerwent is now a small village, largely bypassed by the busy A48 road running between the city of Newport to the west and Chepstow to the east. The Northgate Inn closed in 2013, leaving the Coach and Horses as the only village pub. The Post Office thrives and was recently refitted. The village has a garage which has been repairing cars since 1917." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caerwent
