Castle Terrace, on Bridge Street, Chepstow, gets its name from the fact that the medieval castle is immediately behind the row. It is a late Georgian development, dating from the early nineteenth century. Its principal interest lies in the 24-pane Georgian bow windows on the ground floor. Remarkably, nearly all of them remain. To the casual passer-by, as opposed to those interested in architectural history, the fact that no two adjacent houses are painted the same colour is what catches the eye.
