Hay-on-Wye lies on the east bank of the River Wye and is within the Brecon Beacons National Park, just north of the Black Mountains. The town is situated just within the Welsh side of the border with Herefordshire, England. This town is a destination for bibliophiles, still with two dozen bookshops. Most of these selling specialist and second-hand books, although the number has declined sharply in recent years, many becoming general antique shops and similar. Since 1988, Hay-on-Wye has been the venue for a literary festival, now sponsored by The Daily Telegraph newspaper, which draws a claimed 80,000 visitors over ten days at the beginning of June to see and hear big literary names from all over the world.
