Overview

A lovely walk starting at the magnificent Chepstow castle before heading up the dell, affording great views of the castle, then through the town heading upwards towards Bulwark (Piggy’s hill). The route then follows the start of the coastal path before heading over the lovely parkland which is home to the famous cyclist Geraint Thomas, then onwards towards the picturesque hamlet of Mounton and back.
