Known for
Chepstow Castle (the oldest surviving post-Roman stone castle in Britain, begun 1067), the Wye Valley AONB, Tintern Abbey (a short drive), and a Welsh border town at the gateway to the Wye Valley
A little history
Chepstow Castle was begun in 1067 — the year after the Norman Conquest — making it the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain. The town sits at the point where the River Wye meets the Severn, making it a strategic border crossing. The Wye Valley, with Tintern Abbey and the Offa's Dyke Path, begins at Chepstow.
The castle is extraordinary and often less crowded than its significance deserves. The Wye Valley walk from Chepstow to Tintern Abbey (5 miles) is one of Wales's great walks. The town centre for good independent shopping. The bridge views of the Wye gorge.
