Our Local Towns
HAY ON WYE: Our local town, famous for its many book shops and annual literary festival, also hosts many unique shops and plenty of options for eating out. The centre of the town is occupied by the recently refurbished Hay Castle, and there’s even an independent cinema (Richard Booth’s Bookshop Cinema). There is a Co-operative supermarket (///duty.outfitter.grumbling), although the in-town shops also offer plenty of choice.
TALGARTH: A small market town, with a Co-operative supermarket, chemist, butcher, flour mill and an ice cream parlour amongst a handful of other shops.
BRECON: Our largest local town, with a great selection of town centre shops and cafes. It also has a theatre, canal, cinema, and a museum. It’s here you will find two larger supermarkets; Morrisons and Aldi.
BUILTH WELLS: Another market town with a lovely selection of local shops. As the Royal Welsh Showground is adjacent to the town, there are a few take-away chains and a Co-operative supermarket. There is also an independent cinema, and an accessible river walk with a children's playground.
LLANDRINDOD WELLS: It’s worth including as this local town is more unusual - it’s a Victorian Spa town. Taste the spa water, or take a pedalo on the lake (great children’s playground here too). A Tesco supermarket can be found here, but the selection of local shops are worth a visit.
All major supermarkets can be found in Hereford.

Exploring Outdoors
Please plan ahead and ensure you are well prepared for the terrain, and any changes in the weather. Even what looks like a short walk up a mountain-side can get tricky if the weather conditions change quickly. Ensure that you have sufficient supplies of food and water for your trip, and fully charged mobile devices.
National Park: Brecon Beacons & Black Mountains www.breconbeacons.org
Twmpa and Hay Bluff are the two mountains that Blaen-y-Cwm overlooks. Get out and explore by following a trail, or pick out a route along footpaths using an OS Map - or one of the many websites and apps available (OSmaps.com, plotaroute.com etc).
Local River Wye: The Warren (Hay-On-Wye), Glasbury & Erwood
The River Wye stretches for 134 miles along the border of England and Wales. Follow part of the Wye Valley Walk, or access the river at:
THE WARREN (HAY-ON-WYE): There is a car park (What3words ///surveyors.node.urban to ///clincher.moats.memo), but it’s best to walk up river from Hay bridge as the track to the car park is often unmaintained.
GLASBURY: Next to the main road with toilet facilities, this is a popular spot on a summers’ day (What3words ///credit.enough.healthier).
ERWOOD/ABEREDW: More secluded and with Erwood Craft Centre to visit as well, this is a lovely place to see the River Wye. Park at the Craft Centre (What3words ///talking.mock.lurching) and follow the path to the side and up river for about 15 minutes until it drops down beside the river.

GOSPEL PASS & CAPEL-Y-FFIN
You may have noticed a Capel-y-Ffin sign or two on your way to Blaen-y-cwm. Turn right as you leave the gate at the end of the track to Blaen-y-cwm, following this winding lane until you reach Hay Bluff. Take a right and follow the very scenic (and narrow) Gospel Pass all the way to Abergavenny [NB road has a tendency to be closed due to landslides, so have a plan B just in case!].

FISHING
The River Wye is the finest Salmon River south of the border and is also popular for coarse fishing. Before anyone can fish the Wye, an Authority Rod License must be obtained plus a permit to fish in the chosen section of the river. These are available at the local tackle dealers, hotel or angling association that own the fishing rights over that particular stretch of water. It is advisable to check on the local by-laws and regulations as to which fish may be caught where and the minimum size. Public fishing is available in Hay-on-Wye but information of the designated stretch of water must be obtained when purchasing a permit.
