	Chepstow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Chepstow Castle
		Chepstow is a Norman castle perched high above the banks of the river Wye in southeast Wales.
		Because Chepstow was built in stages along the river Wye, the castle is constructed in a long, terraced fashion as opposed to a concentric layout.
		Chepstow was also used for State prisoners at this time, and the republican and regicide Henry Marten, spent 20 years of fairly comfortable captivity in the tower which now bears his name.

	Chepstow

	Chepstow
		Striguil is the old Welsh name for Chepstow and is derived from Ystraigyl (the bend), a reference to the sharp turn the River Wye makes as it passes the town.
		A busy port and shipyards contributed to Chepstow's wealth, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries, leaving a rich legacy to the town in the many buildings dating from that period.
		The importance of Chepstow as a tourist centre is currently being recognised by substantial investment in tourism-related projects including new and improved attractions and accommodation.

	Chepstow Castle
		Shortly after the Norman invasion, building work commenced on the sprawling castle at Chepstow, one of the first stone castles in Britain, and development continued over four main building periods spanning several centuries.
		Situated along the banks of the River Wye has dictated the rather unusual shape of the castle, built on three distinct levels, as it follows the natural path of the river.
		Chepstow Castle's location, perched at the top of an impregnable limestone ridge overlooking the river, acted as the focal point from which it was possible to instigate raids into Wales, and defend England from any Welsh attack.

		One of the original group of routes listed in 1949, it was not provided with the necessary stiles and signs until just before the official opening at Knighton in July 1971.
		Since then use of the route has grown considerably and the original hopes of a 'trodden way' for 177 miles from the south coast near Chepstow to the north at Prestatyn have largely been realised.
		Allowing an average of three minutes (many - if not most - took much longer!) for each conversation and one minute for every photograph taken (removal of camera from waist pouch, etc), a more realistic average walking speed is arrived at of 2.2 mph.
