The River Wye, looking upstream, seen from the castle. On a ridge above the River Wye stands Chepstow Castle, the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Begun in 1067, the castle was added to over the centuries and, as its military importance waned, it was converted into domestic accommodation and used for other purposes. Now in the care of Cadw, the castle ruins are a popular tourist attraction.
