Stepping Back in Time at Chepstow Castle

When we arrived in Chepstow, Wales and I first caught a glimpse of the castle ruins, I was in awe. Situated above the cliffs on River Wye, this Norman castle dates back to 1067 and was a place of military importance. In the first year of William the Conqueror's reign as King of England, he had the Chepstow Castle construction begin. I enjoyed finding my way through the castle ruins, as well as walking with students along the worn, narrow footpath at the side of the castle wall.  (Images are cropped in the image gallery.
