Peaks & Pages: Twmpa Hike & Hay-on-Wye Bookshops - Women Only
Overview
Hike the spectacular Twmpa (Lord Hereford's Knob) for epic views, then explore the famous, cozy bookshops of Hay-on-Wye!
From high-altitude vistas to quiet, dusty bookshelves. Join us for a stunning walk up to the Rhos Dirion trig point, where the horizon opens up across the Brecon Beacons. We’ll spend the morning walking the wild, undulating ridges before heading back down into Hay-on-Wye to explore its world-famous bookshops.
It’s the perfect blend of wild adventure and cozy vibes!
(Tea and cake is, as always, strictly optional but encouraged 😉).
