The stones of this magnificent clifftop fortress trace 600 years of history.
Chepstow Castle at Chepstow, Monmouthshire, South Wales is the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Located above cliffs on the River Wye, construction began in 1067 under the instruction of the Norman Lord William FitzOsbern. Originally known as Striguil, it was the southernmost of a chain of castles built in the Welsh Marches, and with its attached lordship took the name of the adjoining market town in about the 14th century.

The old MKlV machine is located inside the gift shop of the castle. Entry fee should be paid. Consider buying a CADW membership, it only costs £18 and gives unlimited entry into many of Welsh magnificent castles
