Had a "station to station" day out walk yesterday and found myself here....but where was it?  Bonus point if you can name the start and finish stations too.

Sudbrook, so the walk will be from Severn Tunnel Junction to Chepstow ... or from Caldicot to Pilning (oops - no trains calling yesterday) or Severn Beach

Bang on....and with the start finish stations too.... Severn Tunnel Junction to Chepstow.
Interesting walk along this section of the Wales Coast Path which included Black Rock where one of the old Severn ferries used to ply back an forth to New Passage near Severn Beach.  It's now a picnic site with splendid views.

I hope you paid a visit to one of the smallest and quirkiest museums on the planet in Sudbrook yesterday...almost impossible to miss and an absolute gem to boot....

Arrgh, I somehow managed to miss it.... even though it appears that I passed it en route.
