Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Caldicot (Welsh: Cil-y-coed) is a small town in Monmouthshire, south Wales. It is located in between Chepstow and the city of Newport. It is also the location of Caldicot Castle. The population is around 11,000. It has a large school, Caldicot Comprehensive School, and is the nearest town to the Severn Tunnel.

The name 'Caldicot' derives from the Old English phase calde cot meaning 'cold hut'. A cold hut is an exposed shelter used by either humans or animals.

The town is recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. Its entry reads, 'Durand the Sheriff holds of the King, one land, in Caerwent, called Caldicot. He has in demesne there 3 ploughs, and 15 half villeins, and 4 bondmen, and one knight. All these have twelve ploughs. There is a mill worth ten shillings.'
