What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Chepstow Castle as Castle (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Chepstow Castle was built by William the Conqueror's half-brother, Robert, Count of Mortain, in the late 11th century, around 1067. It is important as one of the earliest and best-preserved Norman castles in Wales, marking the beginning of English influence in the region.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
