The area around Hay-on-Wye.
Hay-on-Wye is a small market town on the Welsh-English border, famous worldwide for its secondhand bookshops and its literary festival. The festival brings enormous crowds for a short spell each year, and visitors keep coming for the bookshops, the river and the Black Mountains. Businesses need to plan around festival weeks, with accommodation and food businesses especially dependent on being found early, while trades should state that they cover Clyro and Cusop and both sides of the border.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Talgarth (7 miles), Builth Wells (13 miles), Brecon (14 miles) and Presteigne (15 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Kington (10 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Hereford (17 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
