Venturing away from the farm.......

Hay-on-wye is 3 miles away & is reknowned for its book festival held once a year end May. This is when the town heaves!! 150, 000 descend on the tiny little market town bringing an eclectic mix of people to our rural midst. The festival has meant that the town has been able to sustain itself & is today one of the most thriving villages on the Wales/Herefofrdshire Border with thriving shops, restaurants & bars that will rival London for its foodiness.

Top 10 things to do when you are here.. if you can tear yourself away from your Farm holiday with us ...
1. Taste the local sheeps milk ice-cream from Shepherds in the heart of town.
2. Walk up Hay Bluff and enjoy the magical views.
3. Wander the book-stores (favourite is Booths!) & antique shops in Hay (there are over 30 bookstores!) The Old Electric shop, owned by a friend, is a must for its vintage treasures & wonderful cafe.
4. Vist the farmers market on a Thursday in the town centre. Lovely local produce. Try Alex Gooch's sourdough bread.
5. Taste the local cider and cheese (My favourite is Dunkertons Cider and Neals Yard Creamery (owned by Parents from our kids school & love how they named one after their son Finn!) both available from the Deli - you can visit Dunkertons for a tour & buy a case of cider to take back!)
6. Eat at the wonderful eateries that surround you - our favourites (Booths Cafe in a bookstore, The Old Electric Shop, The Rivercafe in Glasbury, The Three Tunns (oldest Pub in Hay) & owned by friends, The Granary owned by our neighbour, The Griffin in Felin Fach, The Bridge Inn in Micheal Church, The Pandy in Dorstone, Hollybush (does not look good outside but great thai & nepalese food) for something a bit more special try The Stagg Inn in Titley (Michelin Star), their cheese board is something special.
7. Wander down the River Wye in a canoe (wye valley canoes) or blackmountain activity centre take younger kids canoeing too.
8. Try your hand at climbing Black Mountain Activities or a bit further but larger and scarier!! Llangorse Activity Centre
9. Ride a Horse in the Brecon Beacons Bryngwyn or Tregoyd Stables for inexperienced or Freerein or Transwales for more experienced
10. Take a ride on the Brecon Mountain Train and then drive through the mountains to Cardiff - beautiful drive but an easy hours drive

Closest station Hereford
There is a bus from Hereford to Hay on wye. Where we can pick you up or you can get a taxi (by calling for one) there is no taxi depot
It is better to enjoy the area and all it offers by having a car even if it means hiring one, but not impossible if you like walking to enjoy it without one. You an also get bicycles from Drovers Cycles in town opt for Electric Bikes if hills are too much as we are on top of a hill !
