Hay-on-Wye

Highlight • Historical Site

Hay-on-Wye is an attractive, traditional and vibrant small town set in a delightful location on the Wales-England border. It has narrow sloping streets, a notable 13th-century castle and a world reputation for books! With over 20 bookshops for a population of just 2,000, Hay-on-Wye is often described as the ‘town of books’.

The town makes a fine stopping point on any long-distance walk or hike. Offa’s Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk pass through Hay-on-Wye, and the town is overlooked by the glorious Black Mountains to the south and by the green rolling hills of Powys to the north.

As it is easy to spend time browsing and purchasing items from the Hay-on-Wye bookshops, please remember that if you are on a long-distance hike you may have to carry the books that you buy!
