Went to Castell Roc Festival and couldn't rate the venue highly enough. Absolutely stunning setting in fabulous surroundings. Chepstow itself is a fabulous town and retreating to the castle for the event was a joy. Atack, Scarlet Rebels, Gun and Massive Wagons blew the non existent roof off the place. We had a ball!

This is the first time I have visited this castle. It is perched on the top of a hill overlooking the River Wye. The castle is the earliest Norman Castle in Wales and seems to go on for ever. My visit was enhanced by use of the audio guide, which is free. The climb to the top of the castle is very steep though well woth it.

This is a castle that is bigger than it first appears. The views of it and from it are good, possibly impressive. Unless you use the audio devices you may not get any great idea what was likely to be happening in the different halls. The price seemed quite fair.

This must be one of Wales best kept secrets. The oldest remaining castle in the UK and it is stunning. The sheer engineering of the castle astonishes me and you can 'feel' the history as you walk around. Built right on the cliff edge over the river, the views are amazing. You will need sound shoes as there are lots of narrow spiral stone staircases to navigate. Only suitable for people fit enough to climb them safely. also bare in mind that almost none of the castle roof are in tact, so not a trip for a rainy day. We spent a couple of hours walking around this magnificent structure. Well worth the entry fee.

An excellent day out. The castle is in a great location with lovely views over the river. It has a ton of history going back over a thousand years with lots to walk round and explore, with useful information boards with key facts about the castle and key people in its history.

3-part castle just above the River Severn. In the middle is a building from the Norman period - more of a palace than a defensive tower. Large complex just above the cliffs that lead to the river. The town has little to offer, you have to look for a restaurant. The church is also interesting, it used to be a monastery.

Fantastic step back in time, beautifully preserved castle with fun activities for children. Loved the trail, so many things to see and do We also walked through Chepstow town, and along by the river, a fab little day out!

We really enjoyed our visit to Chepstow castle. There was lots to see and explore. The views down to the river are beautiful. The car park was full when we arrived but we were able to park in Drill hill car park which was a quick walk (and much cheaper).

Despite it being a rather wet day, this was still a great place to visit and a very good price too. There's plenty of parking nearby at the tourist information centre, but you do have to pay. Chepstow Castle is quite large and surprisingly complete, especially considering the oldest part was started only a year or so after the Norman invasion. The Castle is home to possibly the oldest doors in Europe, and they were in use until the 1960s. You can pay for a guidebook or audio tour but there's plenty of information boards, so these are not necessary. There's also fantastic views down the river, that would be even better on a sunny day. It's uphill and uneven in places, so the less mobile might struggle to access all areas.

We took our eight-year old grandson here, and spent four hours - there really was something for everyone. It’s a great castle anyway with a fascinating history, towers to climb and battlements with great views. The information boards were really well-presented for all ages, there was an excellent children’s trail (plus badge-making), and as a bonus the Bowlore people were doing archery and weapons displays. Nice places for a picnic too.
