Grade 1 listed bridge constructed in 1816. Great views of Chepstow Castle.

A magnificent old ruin. One of main in the area.

A secretive ancient fortress nestled on a promontory above the town, Usk Castle is a romantic ruin. Thought to have been established in the early 12th century on the site of a former Roman fort, it has seen its fair share of conflict. Today, it is Grade I-listed and is open on special occasions, to Usk Castle Friends on set days, as well as to those using the nearby glamping facilities.

A beautiful spot with great view of the river and the castle.

I love this old bridge from England to Wales or Wales to England. Great views of Chepstow Castle.

A bridge linking Wales and England, nice views too!

St Briavels (pronounced Brevels, once known as 'Ledenia Parva' (Little Lydney)),is a medium-sized village and civil parish in the Royal Forest of Dean in west Gloucestershire, England; close to the England-Wales border, and 5 miles (8 km) south of Coleford. It stands almost 800 feet (240 m) above sea level on the edge of a limestone plateau above the valley of the River Wye, above an ancient meander of the river. To the west, Cinder Hill drops off sharply into the valley. It is sheltered behind the crumbling walls of the 12th century St Briavels Castle.

St Briavels Castle is a moated Norman castle at St Briavels in the English county of Gloucestershire. The castle is noted for its huge Edwardian gatehouse that guards the entrance. St Briavels Castle was originally built between 1075 and 1129 as a royal administrative centre for the Forest of Dean. During the 13th century the castle became first a favourite hunting lodge of King John, and then the primary centre in England for the manufacture of quarrels, large numbers of which were required for crossbows in medieval warfare. The castle was transferred many times between royal favourites in the 14th and 15th centuries and slowly declined in appearance and importance. St Briavels Castle became used primarily as a court and as a notorious debtors' prison, conditions being documented by the prison reformer John Howard in 1775. Following local riots and a parliamentary investigation in the 1830s, reforms in the 19th century brought an end to the castle's use as a prison. Extensive renovation at the turn of the 20th century allowed St Briavels Castle to be taken over as a Youth Hostel in 1948. It remains in this role today, owned by English Heritage and open to the public. The castle is classed as a Grade I listed building and as a Scheduled Monument.
