Start with a visit to Chepstow Castle, built in 1067 by the Normans on the banks of the River Wye. Explore the oldest post-Roman stone structure in the UK, which served as a seat of power for over 600 years.
Continue to Tintern Abbey, an impressive 13th-century Gothic ruin. Originally built by Norman Cistercian monks in 1131 and later rebuilt in 1269, it’s a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of Wales' most beautiful and haunting sites.
Visit the historic town of Monmouth, founded by the Normans as a riverport and later evolving into a market town. Learn about the town’s significance as the birthplace of King Henry V and explore the only medieval gated bridge in the UK.
Head to Raglan Castle, a stunning structure built between the 15th and 16th centuries. Unlike other fortresses, Raglan Castle was designed to impress rather than intimidate, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of Welsh noble life.
If time allows, visit Caerleon, known as Isca during Roman times. Explore some of the best-preserved Roman remains in the world, including the remains of the Roman Legionary Fortress.
Enjoy scenic stops in the picturesque Wye Valley and Monmouthshire countryside, offering breathtaking views towards the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) mountains.
