TheCaptain visited on 26th Mar 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Walking the Welsh Coast Path route from Chepstow to Caldicot. Remains of a hillfort / camp built by the Silures in the late Iron Age, overlooking the river Wye just to the south of Chepstow. Good views from the corner where the trees are cut back
xseawitch visited on 6th Jul 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 4 We were following the Coast Path from Chepstow and passed by this unexpectedly. It is a flat piece of land by some houses and light industrial buildings with a high fence and locked gate at the end, presumably to stop people falling off the edge of the cliff.
It has a new sign, but with summer growth of trees and hedgerows, not much to look at.
Average ratings for this site from all visit loggers: Condition: 2.5 Ambience: 3 Access: 4.5
