The Lower Wye Valley has been an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty for over forty years and has always charmed artists, writers and poets. The Wye is the first river in Britain to be designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest along its entire length from its source on the slopes of the Plynlimon in Powys to its mouth at Chepstow. It is paradise for those that love walking, cycling, horse riding, rock climbing, caving, canoeing and kayaking. The seventeen mile southern section of the Wye Valley Walk leads from Chepstow Castle to the historic town of Monmouth, birthplace of Henry V. If you take this walk, you will delight in pretty woodland and be enchanted with birdsong and bluebells when in season.
Chepstow’s Great Tower was commissioned by William the Conqueror just after the Battle of Hastings, making Chepstow Castle Britain’s oldest surviving post-Roman stone castle. Chepstow, famous for its racecourse, offers a wonderfully scenic entrance to Wales. The racecourse is home to Wales’ most prestigious race meeting, the Coral Welsh Grand National and thirty other annual meetings so you may be lucky enough to enjoy a racing experience during your holiday. There is a National Diving Centre nearby and peregrine falcons on the river. There are many walking trails from the town including the Wye Valley Walk, the Offa’s Dyke National Trail and the Wales Coast Path.
