Viewed across the A4085 Constantine Road. The name sign on the right shows THE NATIONAL TRUST SEGONTIUM. The museum occupies part of the site of the Roman fort of Segontium, founded by Agricola c77 AD. In contrast to the coastal location of Caernarfon Castle, built a millennium later, Segontium occupies higher ground about a kilometre inland, with a good view of the Menai Strait. The fort was abandoned in the 4th century.
