The eagles nest viewing point is located 2 miles away from tintern abbey. It is located near the small town of st arvan. If you keep on the main road on the way to tintern on your right you will see a sign saying lower wyndcliff where the car park is located. Then cross the road. Follow the signs saying eagles nest up until a quarry then turn right to walk up the 365 steps follow the signs until you get to the viewing point. The steps are a bit of a challenge but fun and scenic, the viewing point is one of the greatest viewing points in the wye valley and forest of dean. From the car park you can also follow the path to giants cave, a small cavern that the path goes right through and then the other side another great viewing point. You can then follow the path to piercefield park, where you will find the ruined and derilect Pierefield house.

We walked from Chepstow to St. James's Church at Lancaut along Offa's Dyke. Beautiful Spring day & the path passed through fields of dandelions & buttercups, under beech, oak, hazel & some resurgent elm. Above an old quarry, the flanks covered in Hart's Tongue fern. Climber's practising their art on the cliff wall's. Passed some characterful houses, among them Pen Moel, a sprawling Victorian giant of a place & Spital Meend, a classy mansion built of stone, half hidden among trees.

This is quite an arduous walk down from the road so take your time. There are ancient forests and riverbank tracks. We saw deer in the fields. The 1000 year old chapel is peaceful and interesting with 17th centre gravestones. It is a great place for your picnic.
6. Old Wye Bridge

This bridge carries the old road between England/Wales, from Gloucestershire to Monmouthshire over the River Wye and has the border right in the middle. Like some places on the equator you can straddle two countries. If you are on one side of the bridge you can take a picture of this with Chepstow Castle in the background. Also marvel at the massive tide range here, the same rise and fall of the River Severn, and at certain times you;ll see the River Wye "flow the other way" when the tide comes in. The eddys and whirlpools under the bridge are quite hypnotic. You may also see a seal from her as they hunt for salmon. The elegant cast iron bridge is unique with its five spans and celebrated its bicentenary recently.

Chepstow Museum is a museum of local history. On the ground floor we have four main exhibition rooms as well a gift shop. On the first floor are two further exhibition rooms. We have photographs of the first floor exhibits available to view from the front desk if you are unable to use the stairs. We have a ramped entrance for wheelchair access to the ground floor but no lift to the first floor.

As I was parked nearby to visit the castle, I popped in with various questions about the rest of my trip to South Wales. The staff were extremely helpful with leaflets, maps and further advice. Excellent - and to be commended.
