The Old Wye Bridge or Town Bridge at Chepstow, also known historically as Chepstow Birdge, crosses the River Wye between Monmouthshire in Wales and Gloucestershire in England.
Although there had been earlier wooden bridges on the site since Norman times, the current road bridge was constructed of cast iron in 1816.
In August 2023 work was carried out to uncover part of an origional wooden Roman/Anglo-Saxon Bridge located near by. It involved clearing a lot of mud in a race against an 'extreme low tide'.
