About The Cross
You'll find The Cross standing in the centre of Chepstow, a sturdy medieval monument that's been watching over this border town since the 13th century. It's not exactly a towering spectacle - more a solid, weathered reminder of when Chepstow was a proper trading hub, with merchants and market-goers circling it much as people do today.
The thing about The Cross is that it works best as part of a wander through Chepstow itself rather than a destination in isolation. You're looking at maybe ten minutes here, tops, but that's fine because the town rewards poking about. The castle's a proper draw if you've got the time, and the riverside walk towards the bridge is lovely. It's the sort of spot where history types will want to linger and take notes, while kids will probably be more interested in the ice cream shops nearby.
There's no entry fee or opening hours to worry about - The Cross sits in the open air, free to view whenever you fancy. If you're staying at Penhein Glamping just down the road, it's an easy detour on your way into town. The area works well for a broader Monmouthshire trip, especially if you're combining it with castle visits and riverside walks. Allow yourself a couple of hours in Chepstow altogether and you'll get the full picture.
