Sedbury

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sedbury is a village in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England. It is on the eastern bank of the River Wye, facing the Welsh town of Chepstow. The village is in the parish of Tidenham.

Historically Sedbury sits alongside the southern end of Offa's Dyke a defensive ditch and dyke built by King Offa of Mercia to mark the Wales-Mercia border.

Sedbury is the location of Wyedean Comprehensive School, one of the schools attended by author JK Rowling and Offa's Mead Primary School.

Sedbury is the beginning of a famous Offa's Dyke Walk stretching the length of the border of Wales ending in Prestatyn.
