EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Chepstow's rich history. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Town Gate, a testament to medieval architecture that has withstood the test of time.

Surrounded by Chepstow's ancient city walls and battlements, this gateway stands as a symbol of strength and defense. Its stone structure exudes an air of grandeur and resilience against the backdrop of bustling streets.
