Chepstow Castle is a striking Norman fortress perched on a limestone cliff above the River Wye, close to where the river meets the Severn Estuary. Begun soon after the Norman Conquest, its layered fabric - from 11th‑century keeps to later medieval curtain walls and a dramatic gatehouse - tells the story of centuries of military and civic importance; it is a Grade I listed building and a focal point for visitors, local events and the town's riverside identity in Chepstow.
