The remains of the Roman buildings are surprisingly intact, albeit with all the gaps filled in with housing and other buildings charting Roman times through to the present day, but there is still a surprising amount to see. You can see the remains of the large open-air swimming pool (now inside a building\u2026), that would have once held more than 80,000 gallons of water, and parts of the bath house (owned and managed by CADW). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions row\">\n    <div class=\"image-with-caption columns six\">\n\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DayTrips_Zoe2.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<p>Fortress baths<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"image-with-caption columns six\">\n\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/DayTrips_Zoe1.jpg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n<p>Walk along the river<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also see the amphitheatre, which would have held 6,000 spectators when it was open, and the remains of the barracks where the soldiers lived.

Built on mudflats and marshland, the nature reserve here was opened in 2000 as a mitigation project to restore wildlife habitat following the Cardiff Bay Barrage scheme. The reserve covers just over 1,000 acres of the Caldicot Level, a low-lying area of land bordering the northern shore of the Severn Estuary. The reserve was designated a National Nature Reserve in 2008, and is now a haven for birds and other wildlife, and a lovely place for a walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find out more at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitmonmouthshire.com\/overthebridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Visit Monmouthshire<\/a>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/shop\/maps\/explorer-map-newport-pontypool.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map: OS Explorer 152 <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n\n<a class=\"btn second map\" href=\"https:\/\/splodzblogz.co.uk\/2020\/06\/02\/bird-watching-newport-wetlands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More about this area <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Both day trip ideas brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/zoe-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OS Champion Zoe Homes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"scotland\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scotland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10.

Martin Down Nature Reserve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A newtork of footpaths across chalk downland full of flora and fauna plus archeological interest with ancient ditches and tumuli. Great visit on a summer&#8217;s day when a host of species of butterfly are fluttering amongst the wildflowers and there is chance to hear turtle doves. Perfect peaceful spot for a picnic far from the madding crowd or star gazing at night. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hants.gov.uk\/thingstodo\/countryside\/finder\/martindown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find out more<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-with-captions row\">\n    <figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/DayTrips_Sue3.bdb46cac7e1b1eaed16d5170fd5228f4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><div class=\"image-with-caption columns four\">\n\n    \n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/DayTrips_Sue2.bdb46cac7e1b1eaed16d5170fd5228f4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><div class=\"image-with-caption columns four\">\n\n    \n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/assets\/components\/phpthumbof\/cache\/DayTrips_Sue1.bdb46cac7e1b1eaed16d5170fd5228f4.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/figure><div class=\"image-with-caption columns four\">\n\n    \n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/os-champions\/sue-barrett\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GetOutside Champion Sue Barrett<\/a>.

If you&#8217;re on holiday down in Dorset (and who wouldn&#8217;t want to be?!), these are four lovely places for a swim. They&#8217;re already popular, so I&#8217;m not giving away any secrets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worbarrow Bay, a beautiful bay perfect for a sunrise swim and breakfast on the beach. Winspit, more of a dip off the rocky shoreline than an endurance sea swim, but a lot of fun. Durdle Door and Man of War Bay, the iconic south England swim through the natural arch. Dancing Ledge, a natural pool good for a plunge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of these swims require a bit of a walk from the local parking, and should be taken seriously &#8211; the Dorset coast is beautiful but it&#8217;s also very rugged and can be rough.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn\" href=\"http:\/\/ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/shop\/maps\/explorer-map-purbeck-and-south-dorset.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Map: OS Explorer OL15 <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">49.
