Standing proudly on a limestone cliff above the River Wye, Chepstow Castle is a magnificent fortress with a history that stretches back nearly 1,000 years. Founded in 1067 by Earl William fitz Osbern, a close friend of William the Conqueror, the castle was one of the first Norman strongholds in Wales. These days, it is an interesting place to visit and affords some stunning views.

A one-of-a-kind cycling experience, definitely worth checking out! Be sure to take note of the tunnel's opening and closing times before you set off :)

THIS TUNNEL IS SHUT!! Until April 1st at the very least. Do not take this path before then.

A very cool and unusual experience. This disused railway tunnel is home to a small colony of bats. You can’t use any lights while walking through the tunnel due to the bats but there is low-level lighting installed. With just over 1km in length to walk, your eyes will adapt! Before planning a walk here be aware of the tunnel’s strict opening and closing times, and dates. It shuts completely from the end of September for 6 months every year.

Tunnel is closed until spring 2023

The tunnel closes at 7pm every day. Worth knowing for anyone that may be planning a later ride in the summer months.

Tintern Abbey was founded in 1131 by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow. It fell into disrepair after the king Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century. Today it's a paid for entry tourist site attracting around 70,000 visitors per year. You can see a lot from the road though or from one of the many local cafes.

Steepish track up but then grassy slopes and woods. Pandoramic views from the hill even if you don’t go up the tower.
