Chepstow In May 1759 a dry dock was opened here "for the graving, caulking, repairing, and lengthening of vessels of upto 500 tons burthen" By the 1850's it was just a rubish dump and it was filled in and levelled. So charts the decline of Chepstow as a port.

Clodock Church Clodock church is dedicated to St Clydawg, King of Ewias, who was martyred about 500AD. The present building stands on the site of his tomb, beside the river Monnow and overlooked by the Black Mountains. It dates from the 12th century and is Grade 1 listed. When you visit the church, make sure you also stop in at the Cornewall Arms. This is the sort of pub rarely found - a real delight which has barely changed for a century or two.

Severn Bridge Officially opened on 8 September 1966, the bridge had been several years in the making and many, many more in the planning.
The first proposal for a road bridge across the Severn had been made as long ago as 1824 and came from no less a person than the renowned engineer and road builder Thomas Telford. He had been asked to recommend ways of improving the mail service between London and South Wales and quickly came to the conclusion that a bridge to span the Severn was the best option.
