I've been to Chepstow Castle and I'd like to announce it to the world.
It's very impressive. The oldest castle in Britain apparently. The Normans started building it in 1067, the year after the invasion of England. They hadn't got round to invading Wales then and the castle was to defend against the Welsh.
I didn't realise that it was so big; it goes on for miles. Like many old castles, it hasn't got a roof or any glass in the windows. Or any rooms. People didn't need such fripperies then; they were a tougher bunch altogether.
I did enjoy this excursion. I'm planning to go somewhere else later this year, so stay tuned for another exciting instalment.
