GRASS FIELD

Locality: Chepstow is an historic walled border town and ancient port overlooked by a Norman Castle. Chepstow commands the entrance to the Lower Wye Valley - an area of outstanding natural beauty. Not that far away are the Forest of Dean (where you might see wild boar if you're patient and quiet), the Brecon Beacons, Cardiff and Bristol, Cheltenham and Newport. Other Castles include Caldicot and Raglan, plus nearby are Tintern Abbey and Roman remains at Caerwent. Chepstow's famous local racecourse unfortunately doesn't have any fixtures while we're there, but is worth a visit. The Clearwell Caves near Coleford are a spectacular site to experience. The local steam railway is the Dean Forest at Norchard.

What's On? Our Rally Officers will provide awnings and a gazebo in which to relax after your days out. If sufficient interest is shown, a visit will be arranged to the hidden gardens at Dewstow, followed by a pub visit. It may be possible to use other facilities at the Events Centre, depending on numbers interested and the cost. We shall do more if you tell us that's what you'd like.
There will be full viewing access to all equestrian events being held whilst we're here (the Hickstead Dressage Masters Regional Final and the Welsh Dressage Championship) - no tickets required.
