Caldicot

From Halal Explorer

Caldicot (Welsh: Cil-y-coed) is a little city in Monmouthshire. It is a pleasant enough dormitory town, but there's little here for the visitor except the castle.

How to travel to Caldicot by car

Accessible from the M4. Equally placed between both of the Severn Bridges, but be careful as the convenient M48 linking them doesn't have a turn-off for Caldicot. Simplest route is to use the M4 across the newer Second Severn Crossing and then come off at the first Junction 23 (with the services) and then take the road through Magor.

By train

Caldicot train station GPS 51.5845,-2.7598 is on the line between Newport and Gloucester, including services to Chepstow. The number of trains passing is quite high and the number that stop is rather fewer. Caldicot is close to the even smaller village of Rogiet, which does however contain the small but reasonably busy Severn Tunnel Junction train station GPS 51.5842,-2.7771}}. This also serves the line to Bristol, Bath and even London Paddington. It's often quicker to walk the mile between them than to wait at Caldicot. Note that Rogiet exists because of its railway junction, not as a destination. A few bemused travellers are sometimes stranded here and may be seen searching in vain for any source of refreshment. Services are actually very good, with the line between Bristol and Cardiff giving good services to Bath, Newport and even London. In the other direction are services to Caldicot, Chepstow and Gloucester.

By bus

Caldicot has many bus stops on the X73 route from Newport and Chepstow.

What to See

  • Caldicot Castle 51.5931, -2.74225 - Caldicot Castle - Caldicot Castle, Wales This old castle is quite interesting. Many events throughout the year, particularly over the Summer school holidays. Local residents can bring their legacy card for free entry, otherwise there is a modest admission charge.

Grotto, Dewstow Gardens - - 656357 - Grotto, Dewstow Gardens

  • Dewstow Grotto 51.5963, -2.7696 Dewstow House A bizarre underground grotto, set in landscaped gardens. Buried during World War II and only re-discovered and excavated decades later. Remarkably unusual and well worth seeing.
  • Venta Silurum Caerwent 51.611, -2.768 - Venta Silurum - CaerwentWall - Site of the Roman town and tribal capital of the Silures, most of Venta Silurum's remains date from the 4th century, including the impressive 5 metre-high town wall, houses, forum-basilica and a Romano-British temple and the latter highlighting how Romanisation often existed in harmony with older local traditions.
  • Victorian works for the Severn Railway Tunnel Sudbrook 51.575, -2.6889 - Severn Tunnel Severntunnel1 80569 If you like Victorian history, or just a close-up view of the Second Severn Crossing, it's more interesting than it sounds.

Rogiet Churches: There are two churches, possibly dating from the 13th century, in and near the village. [ Street Mary's is the village's church. The redundant Street Michael and All Angels in nearby Llanfihangel is closed, but opens for occasional concerts. Llanfihangel is not such a bustling metropolis as Rogiet; less a village and more of a farmyard.

Shopping in Caldicot

A modest town centre, becoming increasingly depleted by empty shops and high rents. Functional for local residents, but not a shopping destination of choice. A well-stocked, albeit somewhat bemused, branch of Waitrose arrived here a few years ago. Caldicot has an open air market on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Caldicot is famous for its pubs and the populace's love of soft-drink. Despite this, many are now closed and boarded, same as most other UK towns.

  • The Good Measure This pub serves overpriced but drinkable lagers to all sorts of weird and wonderful. Pool matches on a Sunday must be experienced if the chance arises. Some have compared it to drinking in the chimpanzee section of the zoo.
  • The Galleon Thit is where the young and rich of Caldicot come to drink cocktails and dance to pretentious dance music. Strict clothes policy on the door means come prepared to dress up to see how the other half live. Its architectural merits hint at the sophisticated atmosphere within.
  • The Haywain Thit is part of the sizzling Steaks co chains pubs. Offers fine food at fair prices. In fact it is the cheapest pub in Caldicot. Just don't expect service or clientèle to match.
  • 24 hours of Flap New bar opened on the outskirts of Caldicot in a field. Famed for offering outdoor raves on weekends and almost seeming as though it never closes. Advance tickets for the Saturday Slosh Pot are recommended (available from Kibbys fish and chips in the shopping neighborhood) due to large numbers attending. Very friendly in fact some local residents think too much.
