Chepstow Castle

“This was our first visit to Chepstow castle and it was very good!!!! When we entered we were greeted by a friendly memeber of staff who scanned our tickets. We spent about 1 hour and 30 minutes in the castle looking around and it was very entertaining!!! The castle inside is very old and the stairs in some of the rooms are VERY steep. There was merchendice here that we did not buy it because it was mainly aimed at children who would visit the castle. We were given a tour booklet which was useful and said about the painter turner and "bigod". It was not that busy when we went in here which I was not expecting because it was half term and the castle is owned by a chain that owns 100s of other castles in wales called "Cadw" and they even had their own deck chairs that we sat on!!! Overall this is a very good castle just on the edge of wales and i would probably only visit this once because we pretty much saw everything!!!!”

“Chepstow Castle is a masterpiece of medieval military architecture and a landmark of British history. Perched dramatically on a limestone cliff overlooking the River Wye, it holds the title of the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. One of Chepstow’s most famous treasures is its set of original massive wooden castle doors. Sheathed in iron plates and constructed using advanced 12th-century engineering, these are the oldest surviving castle doors in Europe.”

“I visited Chepstow Castle in South Wales. It was built in 1067 and is one of the oldest stone castles in Britain. I walked around the castle and enjoyed the beautiful views of the River Wye. I learned a lot about its history and its importance in the past. It was a very interesting and enjoyable visit.”
