| About Chepstow |
| |
Chepstow is an ancient market town situated on the banks of the
River Wye. It has many attractions having the first stone built castle
in Great Britain after The Norman Conquest in 1066.
Chepstow also has a very famous Race Course where horse races
are run at regular intervals throughout the year.
The Town of Chepstow has recently been re-vamped by
Monmouthshire County Council and it is now a pleasant place to visit
with many shops to browse through, and many places where you can
obtain refreshments, the Conservative Club being one of the nicer
venues.

Chepstow is also the gateway to The Forest of Dean and The Wye
Valley. Tintern Abbey is only 5 miles outside Chepstow.
There are many pleasant riverside walks and it was from the banks
of the river at Chepstow that the Chartists were transported to
Tasmania. A plaque is on a building of a riverside restaurant.
Chepstow is situated just off the M48 Motorway and Severn Bridges,
and is only half an hour from Bristol and Newport.
