Cardiff Central to Chepstow

Chepstow, the gateway to Wales, is a lively town located on the banks of the River Wye. Blessed with a magnificent view of the countryside, this town’s history goes way back to the Norman settlement. From sightseeing to horse racing, Chepstow has a lot of attractions and activities in store for every visitor.

Wander the halls of Chepstow Castle, the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain. Standing majestically for more than six centuries, this castle has been the former home of some of the most powerful and influential men in medieval history. Visit Chepstow Museum across the road and learn about the town’s rich past. Displayed in the galleries are several memorabilia of Chepstow’s past on wine trade, shipbuilding, and salmon fishing. The exhibits also feature a number of paintings dating back from the 18th and 19th century. 

Those who are fond of literature may recognise Tintern Abbey in one of William Wordsworth’s poems. Only the remains stand on the ground, but don’t let this discourage you from witnessing the beauty of its Gothic architecture, enduring the test of time.
