If you’re planning a day at Chepstow Racecourse, why not make The Anchor Inn your base for food, drinks and relaxation?
Set in the heart of Tintern, right beside the iconic Tintern Abbey, we’re perfectly placed for racegoers looking to enjoy the excitement of the track and the beauty of the Wye Valley in one memorable trip.
Chepstow Racecourse is only around 5 miles from Tintern, making it a quick and easy journey – just a 5‑minute taxi ride or a short 8‑minute direct bus from the Royal George Hotel stop to the racecourse entrance. This unbeatable convenience means you can enjoy a leisurely meal, a pre‑race drink or a peaceful night’s stay without the stress of long travel times or parking queues.
The Perfect Pre‑ or Post‑Race Stop
Start your race day with a hearty lunch at The Anchor Inn, or unwind with a pint in our riverside setting after the final race. Whether you’re celebrating a win, commiserating a near miss or simply soaking up the atmosphere, we offer the ideal spot to relax.
Our historic inn is positioned directly on the A466 – the same road you’ll travel along when heading to the racecourse – and racegoers literally pass Chepstow Racecourse on the route into Tintern, making The Anchor Inn an effortless stop before or after your big day out.
Make a Day (or Evening) of It
With great food, a warm welcome, plenty of character and the spectacular backdrop of Tintern Abbey, we’re more than just a convenient stop – we are part of the experience.
