Pwllmeyric is a small village in Monmouthshire, a mile south west of Chepstow, on the A48 road within the parish of Mathern. The name Pwllmeyric means, in the Welsh language, "Meurig's pool" and refers to the pwll or creek of the Severn estuary which, before it silted up, linked the village to the sea. It was named after Meurig ap Tewdrig, king of Gwent and Glywysing in the 5th or 6th century, who buried his father Tewdrig (St. Theodoric) at Mathern.[1]
It is the location of Chepstow Garden Centre and a pub, the New Inn.
