TWF2026-422 Hay Common & Rook Wood Circular (2 Boot, Monday)

£8.00
9 available

Grading: 2 Boot Walk #27

A great value-for-effort walk with spectacular scenery and views of Cusop Hill, Hay-on-Wye, the River Wye, Hay Bluff, Pen-y-Fan and the Radnor Hills.

The walk gently climbs out of Hay-on-Wye to Hay Common and then on to Penn Common, where the remains of a little known Iron Age fort and a Neolithic long cairn with dolmen near Wern Wood will be viewed. It then descends to Rook Wood and hopefully a stunning display of Blue Bells and the Spring Time chirping of Birds!

Walking out of Rook Wood the walk returns to Hay Common and a descent adjacent to a running water stream to Hay Cemetery where there are War Graves of great interest. 

The walk finishes at the main Car Park in Hay but there will first be an opportunity to enjoy a drink in Hay!

Sponsored by Rohan, Hay-on-Wye

Maximum walking group size is 16 (+ leaders)
