Chepstow Castle, one of the first stone built castles in Wales, construction began in 1067, a year after the Norman invasion. Kevin Hicks has taken students around Chepstow for almost 30 years. Today, he takes you on a special tour of his favourite castle and shares with you some of the secrets he's discovered over that time. #MedievalCastle #Medieval #ChepstowCastle #Chepstow #Castle #Castletour A special thanks to Teo Drone Fly for allowing us to use his amazing aerial footage of Chepstow Castle.
