Enjoy FREE ENTRY for St. David's Day 2025 (March 1st) at Chepstow Castle

Chepstow Castle is a must-visit as the oldest post-Roman stone castle in the UK (with the oldest castle doors in Europe!). It is a beautifully preserved masterpiece of medieval engineering, perched high above the Wye Valley like a history lesson in stone.

Cadw are partnering up with Welsh cancer charity Tenovus to encourage donations in lieu of the entry fee. There is no obligation to donate to access Cadw sites, but those wishing to do so can help give hope to thousands of people by donating any amount they wish by simply logging on to: https://tenovuscancercare.enthuse.com/pf/welsh-government-staff.
