HAY-on-WYE | By Drone and on Foot | River Walk | Hay Town & Castle

Описание: This week’s van life adventure sees us take the Adria Twin Supreme to Hay-on-Wye where we take a stroll along the River Wye and explore the town and castle.

So join us as we see Hay by drone and on foot, take a walk along the River Wye to The Warren and share a few photographs along the way.

We loved The Bean Box a family run business situated on the banks of the picturesque river Wye, offering ample seating in the garden and at the water’s edge. The perfect location to refuel as you sit back and relax while you enjoy watching the wildlife.

We stayed at Dark Orchard CL site, a quiet secluded off grid site with NO EHU, toilets or showers tucked away on the edge of Hay-on-Wye, yet only a 5 minute walk to the shops, restaurants, pubs and other amenities that this unique Welsh Marches market town has to offer.

The site does offer both fresh water, grey and black waste facilities.

Hay-on-Wye known locally as Hay is a market town and community in Powys, Wales.

With over twenty bookshops, it is often described as a "town of books"; it is both the National Book Town of Wales and the site of the annual Hay Festival.

About Hay Castle

For a thousand years, this remarkable structure has been part of the landscape. Part Norman, part Jacobean and part Victorian, Hay Castle has been a home to invaders, patriots’ citadel, country manor and a world-famous bookshop.

The remains of the castle include a four-storey keep and a beautiful arched gateway. The multi-gabled Jacobean manor was severely damaged by fire in 1939, and again in 1977. Remnants of the 18th century formal gardens and 19th century terraced gardens can still be seen.

The present day castle in the heart of Hay-on-Wye - sometimes called the Town of Books - site of the Hay Literary Festival, which for ten days every year attracts the most exciting writers, thinkers and artists to inspire and entertains hundreds of thousands of visitors.


Escaping Reality, a channel where we journey to many different locations across the UK and Europe from where we get outside, visit the local area, explore the landscape and experience the great outdoors - sharing our trips, travels and adventures through the medium of film, drone footage and photography.

Travelling in our Adria Twin Supreme 640 SLB.

We both enjoy a plant based diet and may take you with us to some of the vegan cafes, restaurants and eateries that we find on our trips.

Andrew has a passion for photography inspired by his late father who sparked his interest from a very early age. He also enjoys film making and videography which combined with the van adventures provides all the ingredients for the channel.

Filmed on 1st & 2nd July 2024
