Hay-On-Wye is an ancient Market town set on the banks of the River Wye, in the county of Powys in Wales, home to over eighteen hundred people. It nudges the borders of England and is beautifully placed in the Brecon Beacon National Park, the narrow streets edged with ancient architecture forge a link to the past, all of which is surrounded by breath stealing scenery. It reaches far back into the pages of history a legacy of which still dominates the town square, with the ruins of Hay Castle which was built in the 12th Century and was the scene of many a skirmish. The town is renowned as being the Town of Books, and this is mirrored in the fabulous book shops that contain a jamboree of treasures and of course that ever wished for first edition, the old Curiosity shop steps aside for interesting antique shops, and there are always the great expectations of visitors attending the Literary Festival which showcases the wonderful world of literature. The beautiful countryside unfolds like a precious carpet with the Wye Valley Way footpath which journeys through the town, or for those visitors who like to capture beauty onto canvas beware the storybook cottages, and majesty of the black mountains that share the intriguing story of Hay-On Wye.
