Chepstow the great tower with cliffs

Chepstow Castle is not just old - it is the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain, built by the Normans in 1067 and standing ever since above dramatic cliffs on the River Wye. It is a place of extraordinary presence, where the weight of nearly a thousand years of history meets one of the most spectacular natural settings in Wales. The great tower rises from the rock as if it grew there, and the cliffs below it fall away to the river with a grandeur that stops you in your tracks.

This watercolour captures that presence - the mass and drama of the castle, the cliffs, and the landscape of Monmouthshire that surrounds it. Painted in watercolour on archival cotton paper, it has the luminosity and depth that only this medium can bring to stone, sky, and river light.
