Just behind our lodging at the Three Tuns is Chepstow Castle. Chepstow is a Norman castle built in 1067, used for many TV and movie sets, and is the oldest post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. It’s quite an impressive structure that commands the high ground above the city and the river Wye.
The Severn Bridge (a huge suspension bridge) takes us to England. Very strong winds buffet our tiny rental. We stopped in Cheddar and toured one of the cheese factories there, then drove through the awesome Cheddar Gorge. During an afternoon stop in Bath, we visited the Abby and Roman Baths. Quite an interesting area.
Lodging for the next few nights is at the ‘Three Daggers’ in Eddington, Wiltshire. What a great place – top notch room, restaurant & service. Best place we’ve ever stayed. Plus, there’s a micro-brewery on site!
