Chepstow Castle is one of the oldest surviving stone castles in Britain. Built in the late 11th century by the Normans, it was a strategic stronghold due to its commanding position. The castle's extensive fortifications, including its impressive gatehouse and towers, reflect its military importance during the medieval period. Its well-preserved ruins offer a glimpse into medieval defensive architecture and the turbulent history of the region. #chepstowcastle #Monmouthshire #castlesofbritain #vir
