The surrounding area looks amazing, though I can’t imagine having to drive in reverse through the hedged roadways.

I had never heard of Hay on Wye, and certainly never even heard of a “book town”. What a cool a and unique place to visit though!

Reading this post reminded me that I absolutely have to go back now that I’m in charge of my own pocket money!

I wonder what inspired Booth to make this into a book town? I would love to visit here. Wales is the only part of the UK I haven’t explored yet, so this is definitely going on my future itinerary!

I love the concept of this and that it’s an honor-system to take a book and leave your payment. It’s so comforting to hold a real, tangible book in your hands. I love that its so accessible for everyone!

The castle, meadow, the books, and I think it is not kidding to find book only 1 $ , woow. I would love to visit this place for sure.
