Hay-on-Wye is known as the first book town in the world. Nestled alongside the beautiful river Wye and boasting the recently restored Hay Castle, the town is well worth a visit. Aside from the many bookshops, independent retailers and tasty tearooms, Hay is also world-renowned for its festivals. At only a 30 minute drive from Cwmdu campsite, we would definitely recommend a visit.
