Chepstow Castle sits on top of the cliffs on the town’s outskirts overlooking the River Wye and is the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain, dating back to 1067. Special events are held at the castle throughout the year, and visitors can explore the majority of the castle, including the battlements that lead into Martens Tower. At the bottom of the town, in an elegant 18th Century townhouse, is Chepstow’s Museum, which shows the development of Chepstow from what was once an important port and bustling market town. The museum also has workshops and other activities running throughout the year for younger children, making it a worthwhile attraction for the whole family.
