A day out to Chepstow and Usk

I celebrated my birthday by going on a Berry's trip to Chepstow and Usk. Very relaxing viewing the Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean without having to drive. Found a great coffee place in Chepstow - Coffee 1.






On to Usk with their hanging baskets. Tracy and I tucked in to lunch at one of the many pubs and restaurants. It was a foodie day! A gentle stroll along the river and then back home via Forest of Dean. I loved this police bird box we discovered.
