The most popular time to visit Chepstow is during the summer months, particularly July. At this time, the weather is pleasantly warm, with temperatures averaging around 20°C, creating a great backdrop for exploring the stunning landscapes and historic sites that this charming town has to offer.
During the peak season from July to August, Chepstow comes alive with outdoor activities and events. You'll find the famous Chepstow Castle buzzing with visitors, and the surrounding Wye Valley is ideal for hiking, cycling, or simply enjoying the breathtaking scenery. The longer daylight hours mean you can make the most of your days, whether you're wandering along the River Wye or sampling local delicacies at open-air markets.
If you're a couple or a family seeking a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in late September. This month often sees fewer tourists, allowing you to soak in the local atmosphere while still enjoying mild weather. The changing leaves create a picturesque setting for outdoor activities, and you can take advantage of the quieter trails in the nearby Forest of Dean.
For those mindful of budget without sacrificing quality, visiting in the shoulder season of late September or early October can also yield more affordable accommodation options and a chance to enjoy local harvest festivals. The focus on autumnal produce can lead to delightful culinary experiences at local restaurants.
