Guided Walk Around Hay-on-Wye: A Historic Landscape

Step away from the Festival site and into the rich border landscape that surrounds Hay-on-Wye on this gentle circular guided walk of around four miles, led by local professional walking guide Sarah Price. The route takes in the border-defining Dulas Brook and the hamlet of Cusop, encompassing St Mary’s Church and the ancient Cusop Castle mound, as well as a section of Offa’s Dyke Path.

Throughout the walk, Sarah brings the landscape to life with stories drawn from local history, lived experience, and years of guiding in the area. This is an ideal walk for anyone who enjoys history, place and thoughtful walking — a chance to explore the wider landscape that has long inspired writers, thinkers and wanderers.
