Hay On Wye, Brecon & Black Mountains tour

One of the gems along the River Wye, Hay-on-Wye is the small town famous the world over for books.

With the river flowing gracefully along its north western edge Hay, as locals refer to it, abuts the England Wales border. Its reputation as a town packed with bookshops and as the venue for the annual Festival of Literature are only two of its many facets. Y Gelli Gandryll (the shattered grove) as it is known in Welsh, is the ideal base for exploring the northern Black Mountains.
