Hay on Wye Castle Town in Wales Book capital with so much to see and do! Join us as we look around the shops, learn the history of Hay on Wye castle, meet some of the locals and go on a carving hunt down by the river. Thanks for watching!
I saw Manky 9 times I believe. Thanks for sharing Hay with us, very lovely town and Castles. The history of the gate is impressive as old as it is and how many times it’s burned and destroyed over the centuries. Beautiful structures in the area and much history! Beautifully videography! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Glad you enjoyed the history and tour of Hay on Wye Susan, it looks like you missed 3 of Manky's appearances, 🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼🐼 he was a very busy bear this time 😄😂 Thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼
I think I saw Manky 11 or 12 times. What a beautiful place to have a holiday in and those sculptures were amazing as well as the people and the town. Take care and thank you for sharing 👍🙏❤️
⭐🐼⭐ The official count was 12 Chris, so well done 🏆 We thought the sculptures were amazing too, and as you say the people were great too. Take care and thanks for watching 🙂😎🐼
My husband watches your videos with me. He loves the history you share and wishes you could do more and longer. He has learned so much from your travels! Thank you!❤
Thank you both for watching the videos and for your encouraging comment. We would love to make longer videos, but sadly we have to work so don't have the time. Seeing the channel grow, so that we were able to just make videos would be our dream scenario. 🙂😎🐼🐼
You certainly picked a wonderful time for a couple of days' caravanning! Hay looked so special with the backdrop of that gorgeous blue sky and finally there's even a little warmth in the sun now. I didn't even know that Hay dated back to the Normans so it was so nice to hear a little of some history that was completely unknown to me. What a gorgeous place. Oh my goodness what a tree! It looked for all the world as though it could pick up its roots and walk! Such character and the bark was truly amazing. Where but Hay would you find such a well-stocked honesty book stall? It must be a wonderful place to be when the book festival takes place but is still a fabulous location to visit at any time. It's a not-to-be-missed-destination fr sure! And it has arguably the poshest looking Oxfam shop I've ever seen! And 'hi' to Paul if he's reading the comments! What would I buy off those shelves. Well the flamingoes of course, but I bet those aren't for sale! The whole of Hay is enchanting and thank you so much for taking us all along. I hope you have a wonderful stay!
The weather was great for the trip to Hay. So glad you enjoyed the history of the town, and the very posh charity shop. Paul was a great character and such a nice chap. Those flamingos were very colourful, and we did have a wonderful stay, thank you. 🙂😎🐼
Thank you so much Phil and Caroline. What a wonderful place to visit and take a wander. The textures and patterns on that tree had me enraptured. And what would I like to get in that shop? Biscuit tins ! There's not a proper Biscuit tin anywhere around here . They are so useful and colorful and interesting. Yup. My kind of junk is a few Biscuit tins.😅❤
The Oxfam shop looks so lovely, very vintage looking, really enjoyed watching this,, haven't been to Hay on Wye for years, looking forward going again soon and now with new places to explore, I believe there is a festival at the end of May, anyhoo thanks so much for doing these videos both..so interesting ::)
We loved our visit to Hay on Wye Joan, and that was an incredible Oxfam Shop. Hope you have a great time when you are there, and we recommend the café by the river 🙂😎🐼🐼
Hi both, Well we visited Hay yesterday, and realised it was 25 years since our last visit, such a pretty town, the weather was wonderful, we looked in so many vintage, retro, antique shops, including Oxfam, and were in awe of the Hay Antique Market, we walked through the castle grounds, enjoyed a coffee at the Bean Box cafe, “lovely”and took a leisurely stroll along the river side path.. thanks again for recommending both..We had such a lovely day..❤
The big tree looks like the whomping willow from Hogwarts. Wish I were back there with both of you, visited Hay in 2008 for the festival, loved the town and atmosphere. Bookseller is my ideal profession, although I am a librarian.
Enjoyed every moment of the video , Loved all the views and History of the towns . the shops were great loved the people you chatted with . It was Almost like being there , and Manky is a true outdoors man , he looked so content . Thanks for the trip . 🧡💛💚🤎🦩
I believe I need to go there. Brian would love it too because of all the book stores. Thanks for taking us along. I love the carvings on the nature walk.
@Let's go with The Johnsons! someday guys we will come visit you! And see Wales and the UK. I've only been to Ľondon and Canterbury. I did ride a train through Cornwall to get to London after riding the ferry from Dublin.
Sorry Jo, but due to age & health factors we decided to leave the tips & rivers in favour of history & travel. Thank you for following our mudlarking adventures in the past. 🙂😎🐼
I loved the mudlarking adventures you took me on. I will miss them as I'm sure you will to. Wishing you safe journeys and good health always from Iowa USA. Will try and catch some of your travels to check-in on you both ❤
