CADW have announced a plan to link historic sites around Wales.

As part of their Heritage Tourism Project, plans are afoot to form both physical and thematic links between sites with "Follow the Story" icons.

Plans for South Wales themes include:

Roman remains in Caerleon




"Wales: The First Industrial Nation," featuring Blaenavon Ironworks;
"Roman Conquest, Occupation and Settlement of Wales AD47-410," featuring sites such as Caerleon's amphitheatre, barracks and Roman Baths. 
Llanthony Priory will be included in "Celtic Saints and Sacred Places."

This brings me back to my theme: so much to see and do around the South Wales Valleys.
