Write Review“The Town of Books - and More Than Just Books”
by Steve – June 2025This quiet town on the border bursts into life during the Hay Festival, but even outside that, it's a lovely place for a slow wander. Quirky bookshops, nice cafés, and countryside views make it ideal for a low-key day trip.
Is it easy to park here?
Is this a place good to visit on a rainy day?
