This is an excerpt of a DVD produced by 1st Take. The complete film is available to order at www.1st-take.com or by calling 01454 321614. Chepstow - a beautiful town nestling on the banks of the River Wye, the gateway between England and Wales - has been at the heart of many of the events that have shaped history.

Turn back the pages of time and celebrate the town's fascinating story, starting at Chepstow Castle, the first datable stone castle in the country when built in 1067. From its origins as an awesome statement of the Norman Conquest, to its bloody siege in the Civil War 600 years later, it is central to Chepstow's history.
