Walk Hay

Walk Hay We specialize in guided walks around Hay-On-Wye, Herefordshire, and the eastern side of the Brecon Beacons. Let's get out there together!

​Sarah Price

Our walks cater to all - whether you're a group, couple, local, tourist, a family, friends, or solo traveler. 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. I am passionate about introducing others to the s

tunning countryside around my local area here in the Brecon Beacons. Being out there in nature with others sharing in the experience together is a powerful, healing & sometimes, transformative experience, with positive affects. I am a qualified Lowland walk leader, & qualified in Outdoor First aid, so you can relax & let me lead you knowing your in safe hands. There is so much history & beauty to discover here, and I will do my best to make each walk as informative, friendly, & as enjoyable as possible. I specialise in leading walks in the valleys & hills, rather than the mountains, as I understand that many people who want to walk whilst they visit the area, don't necessarily want to climb the mountains. Perhaps you have children with you, or feel you aren't capable of mountain terrain, or are not confident with maps. If you have never walked in the countryside before, or if you walk regularly, you are all very welcome.

🚂 Exciting News! A New Collaboration with Brecon Mountain Railway! 🚶‍♂️🌲

I'm thrilled to announce a brand-new series of Guided Walks in partnership with Brecon Mountain Railway! From April to November, you can ride the historic steam train deep into the Brecon Beacons and then explore the mountains, forests, reservoirs, and waterfalls on foot. Each month, a different route will showcase the breathtaking scenery, history, and hidden gems of this stunning national park.

Some walks will lead us back to the start, while others will be circular routes from Torpantau station, ending with a ride on the last train back. Along the way, expect incredible views, peaceful forests, wild mountain ridgelines, and fascinating history, including an ancient inscribed stone.

🌟 Calling all women walkers! 🌟

I’m considering organizing a special guided walk on International Women’s Day, Saturday 8th March, and I’d love to know if there’s interest!

✨ Tentatively titled ‘Women Walk the Wye’, the event would be a charity walk in support of the amazing organization Welsh Women’s Aid 💜 (50% of proceeds will go to this vital cause: welshwomensaid.org.uk).

Here’s the plan:
🚶‍♀️ Route: A 16-mile walk along the beautiful Wye Valley Pa
th, starting in Builth Wells and finishing in Glasbury village.
🚶‍♀️ Option: Join for a shorter section (approx. 8 miles) from Erwood to Glasbury.

This would be a fantastic opportunity to:
💪 Take on a walking challenge
👭 Connect with local women and past walkers
💜 Raise awareness and funds for an important cause
🌿 Soak up the stunning landscapes of the Wye Valley

Interested? Let me know in the comments or send me a message! If there’s enough interest, I’ll get the details finalized.

Let’s come together, celebrate women, and make a difference this International Women’s Day!
