(For detailed Visitor Information see - Hay
on Wye )
 The small Marches town of Hay-on-Wye is the northernmost point of Brecon Beacons National Park and stands on the southern side of the River Wye. Across the river to the north are the green hills of Radnorshire to the south and west lies the glorious range of the Black Mountains, to the east is the Golden Valley, part of the cultivated farmlands Herefordshire. Hay is situated in some of the most varied and beautiful countryside the British Isles has to offer.
Hay-on-Wye lies on the Welsh side of the Welsh/English Border in the County of POWYS, Wales. Although as far as the Royal Mail is concerned, it is better, apparently, to use the County of HEREFORDSHIRE, not to be confused with the county of HERTFORDSHIRE; a very popular mistake ! The majority of the postal addresses in Hay on Wye are either 'via Hereford' or 'Herefordshire'. It is purely for postal reasons! The town is famous for its yearly Book Fair and 40 bookshops.
