About

Chepstow Castle stands on a limestone cliff above the River Wye, its formidable Norman stonework marking the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Its strategic position controlled a crucial river crossing into Wales for centuries, with later expansions adding towering curtain walls and a massive twin-towered gatehouse that dominate the town's eastern approach.

Immediately to the north, the Larkfield ward encompasses residential streets and local amenities on the gently rising ground away from the river. The area's layout reflects its growth in the 20th century, providing housing for the town's community. From parts of Larkfield, residents have direct views of the castle's enduring silhouette against the skyline, a constant reminder of the town's long history.
