The Way We Were

A Pictorial Tour of a Pre-2000 Piercefield Park


The Home of Chepstow Racecourse



Chepstow racecourse is undergoing many changes and these were started in 2001.
Many areas are now very different and this area shows the way Chepstow used to look pre 2000 and here as a historical reference to "The Way We Were" This Area of the site is very much Pictorial There are a lot of graphics and if you have your browser images turned off the I'm afraid you won't see very much.

It has been designed with an 800x600 resolution in mind so if you are viewing in less resolution I'm afraid you may have to use the scroll bars.

Below you see a diagram of the course and smaller versions of this are used to guide you around the course.
