Chepstow Castle
Lovely view of chepstow castle with the severn bridge in the background.
This giant 13th-century sandstone abbey stands along the picturesque River Wye. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 the lead roof was sold off and the Abbey lay neglected for 200 years. The Abbey was "rediscovered" in the 18th century and became a haven for artists and poets.

Goodrich Castle (English Heritage) is an excellent visit. Also, drive from Monmouth down the Wye Valley to Chepstow, stopping at the beautiful ruins of Tintern Abbey. Stunning scenery and some good places to eat.

The monastic ruins of Tintern Abbey are nestled in the heart of the Wye Valley area of outstanding natural beauty and can boast 900 years of history in their walls. This was the first Cistercian abbey built in Wales and only the second in Britain, and despite now being exposed to the elements, it remains one of the most stunning surviving examples of gothic architecture in the country.
