Chepstow is where England meets Wales, separated by the meandering River Wye, just a few hundred yards from Castle House. The medieval port of Chepstow offers a good location to visit the beautiful Wye Valley and Royal Forest of Dean. It is located on the tidal river Wye about 2 miles above it’s confluence with the river Severn. The town was developed from medieval times as a port and trading centre. Even in Roman times, Chepstow was an important river crossing. Evidence of Roman occupation can be seen nearby. Nowadays Chepstow is still dominated by the magnificent castle, one of the first to be established by William the Conqueror. Chepstow marks the beginning of several long distance footpaths (Wye Valley, Offas Dyke and Wales Coastal path). The Gloucestershire Way is also nearby. National cycle route 4 and 42 pass through the town. This area offers a geographical, historical and cultural area of interest and has much to offer the historian, outdoor enthusiast, or just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The Wye Valley and Forest of Dean offer a place of timeless beauty and untamed nature. Pause for a moment at one of the many breathtaking viewpoints, walk or cycle the miles of off-road paths, explore the iconic ruins and unique attractions or sample the ever growing local producers fayre and artisan produce.
