This amazing Amphitheatre sits on the edge of the town and is totally abandoned. It has only had one minor excavation so very little has been discovered about it. You can clearly trace the shapes of the interior, the steps on which people would have sat and the access routes into the stadium. It is such a shame that more has not been made of the site.

I was staying at the Travelodge and came to see the most excellent Corinium Museum and the Amphitheatre. Google said there was free parking but doesn’t say it was on the street. It was an interesting experience to stand in the middle area and climb the banks where so much has happened in Roman occupation. There is also a pretty woodland walk as well. Also saw the Monument which is off to the right, down steps and over a little wooden bridge.

Lovely hidden gem, with good signage, footpaths, seating, and a small, free car park. Lots of trees and birdsong, Amazing ruins covered in grass, but it's a shame you can't see the stones

The Amphitheatre is very large in person, you can imagine it with all of the stone seating! Bummer that no stones are left, but visiting it gives you a sense of the scale of the site.

Somewhat underwhelming overall. Nice for a walk from the town center (though walking there is not well posted). Not sure why, and I had not read any reviews so my bad, but I was somehow expecting a few stones or remnants, but it is basically just a grassy area where the amphitheater was.
