This walk is part of the Broxtowe Ramblers group trip to Brecon

A stroll around Hay-on-Wye

2 miles (3.3km) Ascent 354ft (108m) Descent 354ft (108m)

This walk is a great way to break the journey to Brecon and to explore the "Book Town" and it's immediate environs. In addition to the many book shops and the independent shops that are in Hay the walk goes through peaceful woodland that should allow you tosee many species of wild flowers, hear tuneful birdsong and be able to relax by the river in The Warren.
