The views across the Wye at Chepstow Castle perched on its lofty craggy perch is super good from here. The Wye looks a bit murky but that is to be expected so close to the sea.

Please be aware that the Northern path into/out of this viewpoint is currently closed due to a landslide (as of October 2024). I've added a photo, highlighting the closed path, to this highlight 🍂✨️🍂
You can still access this viewpoint, but you have to go down and then back up the stairs.
Stunning views over the River Wye, Chepstow Castle, and, on a clear day, one of the Severn Bridges, too!
