Chepstow Castle

Chepstow Castle is a ruined medieval fortification situated on a limestone cliff directly above the River Wye at Chepstow in Monmouthshire, Wales. It is one of the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortifications in Britain, with construction begun by William FitzOsbern shortly after the Norman Conquest in 1067. The castle was expanded significantly over subsequent centuries and served as an important strategic crossing point over the Wye and a gateway between England and Wales. It is now managed by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service, and is open to the public.
