It's great to see an OpenCache in these parts at last. What a great cache logging page too.

We parked at the sports centre and made this our first cache on a day spent walking in the area. Chepstow Castle is a great place which we have naturally visited many times before. We even went to an open air play within it's walls once. I am surprised that they've let so much ivy and shubbery take root in the walls though.

At the end of our walk we were passing The Alcove in Piercefield Park. It is well on it's way to being fully restored. The trees have been cleared leaving a view to the castle that I have never seen before.Cool

Many thanks for placing this cache. We may get round to placing one or two of our own one day.Wink
