Dingestow (Welsh: Llanddingad) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales in the United Kingdom.

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

Pronunciation
Locals prefer that the village be pronounced 'Dinge-Stow' to avoid making the name sound like Dingy (as in 'dark and dingy') Stow.

History & Amenities
The village was once the site of a Norman motte and bailey 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, St Dingads and the River Trothy passes through. 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.
