Guided Walks Around Hay-On-Wye,

Herefordshire & Brecon Beacons

 

At Walk Hay we specialise in providing guided walks around Hay-On-Wye, Herefordshire & Brecon Beacons. 

Discover the stunning hills & valleys around the historic town of Hay-on-Wye. We have Castles, Forests, Dingles, the Mighty Wye River, Ancient Stones, Sculptures, and Stunning Views of the Black Mountains & the Brecon Beacons National Park.

 

Our walks are ideal for groups or couples, locals and tourists, families, friends, or perhaps you would like a walking guide as a single traveller.

Optimise your time outdoors by booking your place on a group event walk, come on one of our guided walking weekends, or hire a professional walking guide for a bespoke experience.

"I thoroughly recommend Walk Hay/Sarah Price! We live in the Netherlands and were on holiday with my 83-year-old father who lives in the UK.

Sarah curated two magnificent walk routes for us. 

It was amazing for all of us, and we will remember our walk for years to come.
 I hope we visit the area again and can use her services!"

Walks to Suit you

If you would like to choose your own length, grade, type of walk, area, & perhaps take in a lunch stop at a hotel or a pub,

then exclusive bespoke Private Guided walking is for you.

Our Guiding service is great for individuals, couples, families, or small groups.

We know the local paths so you don’t have to worry about the planning and navigating – we do that for you! Just relax and enjoy your walk. It's great for a birthday or celebration perhaps, giving your loved ones a tailor-made experience that they will love.

We can put together walks in the beautiful countryside around Hay-on-Wye, or slightly further afield such as Talgarth, Llanthony Valley, Talybont, Brecon, Kington, Llangorse, or the Golden Valley etc. We know the best walks in Brecon Beacons, that aren't necessarily the famous Pen-y-Fan mountain, but just as spectacular..

Bespoke private guiding is available any day of the week, subject to availability.

You also have the option to book now and choose your walk later.

Simply get in touch to discuss your requirements
