Through the Local Lens: Discover the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley with photographer Tim Scanlan. Hidden gems and local stories.
Chepstow is the historic gateway to the Wye Valley, perched on the edge of the River Wye as it winds towards its meeting point with the Severn Estuary. It’s a town rich in history, natural beauty and outdoor adventure, making it a perfect starting point for exploring the Forest of Dean and Wye Valley.
At its heart stands Chepstow Castle, Britain’s oldest surviving stone castle. Built in 1067, it still stands guard over the river today - an enduring symbol of the town’s long and fascinating story. From the Norman conquest to the age of romantic tourism, Chepstow has played an important role for centuries.
Whether you're setting off on a riverside walk, soaking up centuries of history at the castle, exploring the story of the Wye Tour, or following our Chepstow Town Trail, you’ll find a warm welcome and plenty to discover in Chepstow.
