Chepstow Racecourse
Review
Chepstow Racecourse continues to set the standard, not just in Wales but across the UK, as a dynamic and evolving venue that offers far more than just racing. While it remains the proud home of the iconic Welsh Grand National, recent years have seen the site diversify in exciting ways. With over 30 fixtures annually, including both flat and jump meetings, it’s still a haven for racing fans, but it’s also grown into a major entertainment destination. The racecourse now regularly plays host to large-scale music festivals, outdoor cinema nights, and seasonal family events that draw crowds from far beyond Monmouthshire. Its modernised hospitality suites, improved viewing areas, and updated facilities show a clear investment in guest experience. Whether you're a seasoned racegoer or simply looking for a great day out with friends or family, Chepstow Racecourse delivers energy, atmosphere, and entertainment in one of Wales’ most scenic sporting settings.

The Wye Valley Hotel
Once warmly endorsed in our guidebook, the Wye Valley Hotel in Tintern has sadly fallen from grace. I contacted Barry & Sue, the owners, to arrange a revisitation and update my review, something I’ve done thousands of times over the past 15 years with all of the businesses I’ve previously endorsed.
