Wales - Chepstow

A classic Chepstow Street

One the way to Cardiff from Bristol I had a day in Chepstow. I had heard that it was a classic welsh town, with its old castle and village it lived up to the hype.

I spent a few hours checking out the old Chepstow Castle which was built in 1067, nearly 1000 years ago... It was built by the Normans and has survived countless wars and sieges.

It was sunny one minute and pouring down the next so I spent the day dodging showers. I went to an old pub and had a Jacket potato for lunch. Nice.
