All welcome

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our 1st Anniversary as a Walkers are Welcome town was celebrated between 5th and 7th April 2013. Everyone had such a good time. The walks and weather were fabulous and the icing on the cake was the flash mob singing/dancing in Beaufort Square by walkers and the Singing Club of Chepstow
(Video out soon!)
Thank you to everyone including you the partakers that helped and supported this event and made it so special.
Here's to next year!

In April 2012 Chepstow and the surrounding area received a feather in its cap by becoming the first Walkers are Welcome town in Monmouthshire. The area was already established as a destination for walkers but now having achieved this status it re-inforces it's reputation as a place to come and visit.   Gaining this status will also help the town develop plans that will benefit everyone, providing extra facilities for walkers and visitors alike and ensuring that any problems with footpaths are dealt with as quickly as possible.
______________________________________________________ What makes it so special for walkers? 
We have the ingredients: 4 long distance walks all starting either in or near Chepstow 
  • Wales Coast Path which really has put the town on the walkers map
  • Offa's Dyke Path 
  • Wye Valley Walk 
  • Gloucestershire Way
The area is an ideal base to explore the beautiful Wye Valley, historic Forest of Dean and Monmouthshire with stunning countryside all at your doorstep Accommodation providers may offer special arrangements, perhaps baggage transport to your next destination, drying facilities, picnic lunches or complete walking holiday packages.

Public transport - Chepstow railway station provides a regular service to Gloucester and Cardiff. Travelling to or from London or Bristol requires only one change at either Newport or Severn Tunnel junction. The bus station has local services as well as links to Cardiff, Swansea and London Victoria. In addition to these the award winning Grass Routes scheme available to Monmouthshire residents and visitors whose accommodation providers have registered, delivers a service to areas where there may not be a regular bus route, ideal for those linear walks.
Some more Good News!
We are pleased to announce that
Chepstow Walkers are Welcome have won the bid to host the National Seminar of Walkers are Welcome towns to be held in October 2014.
We are thrilled!
