A glimpse of Dean Close, St John's - a co-educational school for children aged 3 to 13. Formerly St John's on the hill School and formerly St John's College. The core building is a country house, once known as Tutshill House. The house was built, probably, in 1806 of rendered brick, lined to simulate ashlar under a roof partly of stone slate and partly of Welsh slate. Many original features and fittings remain. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1100283 The walk leaves Chepstow, crosses the River Wye, and ascends through Tutshill, following the long distance Offa’s Dyke Path. A diversion down the Lancaut Walk is taken before returning to rejoin Offa’s Dyke Path to Wintour’s Leap. After crossing Coleford Road, B4228, footpaths and roads are taken through Woodcroft and Tutshill to recross the river and return to the starting point. About 5 miles.
