Dingestow (pronounced DINJ-stoh, Welsh: Llanddingad) is a village in Monmouthshire, Wales.

Dingestow is located three miles south of Monmouth and approximately the same distance north east from Raglan in rural Monmouthshire.

The village was once the site of a Norman motte and bailey^[1] and later stone castle sited to control this part of the Welsh Marches by the incoming Marcher Lords and was attacked by the Welsh Lord of Caerleon in the 13th century.

The village has a church [1], St. Dingat [2] and the River Trothy passes through the Village.

The community is served by a Village Hall [3] and a general store with a sub Post Office. The Somerset Arms is the local public house.

The area is popular with campers and caravanners in season and is close to the River Wye, the Wye Valley and the River Monnow.

The 17th century gentry house of Treowen, now a venue for conferences and weddings, is located just north-east of the village.
