Chepstow South

Chepstow South occupies the southern side of Chepstow, alongside the River Wye and the town’s riverside open spaces. The river edge here is shaped by towpaths and floodplain meadows that link into the Wye Valley Walk, and the stretch includes Chepstow Racecourse on the bank where the Welsh Grand National is held each winter. The A48 and the town’s railway station sit close by, providing road and rail connections toward Newport and Gloucester, and small commercial streets and local shops serve daily needs.

Housing in Chepstow South ranges from terraces near the town centre to post-war estates and newer developments on the outskirts, with primary schools and community facilities within walking distance for most residents. The riverside viewpoint offers direct sightlines to the medieval stonework of Chepstow Castle above the town, and riverside paths allow regular pedestrian access to leisure areas and bridge crossings. Local planning and community groups are active in maintaining flood defences and riverbank access used by anglers and walkers.
