Historic note

Llandogo was prominent as a river port up until the 19th century, in fact it was the site for the building of a type of vessel known as the Trow, which was a form of flat-bottomed boat extensively used for the trading of goods in the Wye and Severn rivers as well as to Bristol on the Bristol Channel. Interestingly, the bell from the last used Trow, which was named “The William & Sarah” is to be found in the purpose-built bell-tower of the village’s church of St. Oudoceus. Somewhat larger vessels used in the area were known as Sloops and the village inn is named after these. Near Penallt, a type of stone known as conglomerate is to be found and it is understood that cider press stones were fashioned here and rolled down into the base of the valley, where they were loaded onto barges, including at nearby Tintern, for transport to the cider-making regions, including Herefordshire.
Recreational activities

The area is well-endowed with recreational possibilities, the River Wye is famous for not only its beauty but also for the excellent fishing, as well as canoeing and kayaking. There are many local walks including the Wye Valley Walk and of course Offa’s Dyke, a path which runs down the border of England and Wales. The Royal Forest of Dean is near at hand with further attractive walks as well as unique features such as Clearwell Caves and the fascinating Puzzlewood. Ancient monuments nearby worthy of a visit include Tintern Abbey, Chepstow, Goodrich and Raglan Castles. For those with Equestrian interests, there is a racecourse at Chepstow. The locality is well served by a surprisingly good range of highly regarded restaurants and other eateries.
