Quotes: "The town is tiny, built around just a few main streets in the shadow of a large ruin of a castle that dates to the 13th century and has survived multiple sackings and multiple fires. It now houses a two-bedroom rental apartment, a bookshop and a 24-hour outdoor display of books that are sold on the "honesty" system ? you leave 30 pence for a paperback, 50 pence for a hardback." -- New York Times, May 14, 2006 Sections below provide additional information and links about Hay-on-Wye travel and tourism, maps, recreation, government and transportation. | Cemeteries | Wales cemeteries - message board | Communities | Communities near Hay-on-Wye | Events | Hay-on-Wye festival web sites: | Hay Festival ePodunk festival listings Family history & family records | Brecknockshire message board | Birth, marriage and death records - nationwide BritishIslesGenWeb British phone books 1880-1984 Census records Genuki - Wales Genuki page for Brecknockshire GenWeb page for Powys Family Records Centre General Register Office - UK Immigration records Military records Parish & probate record search Probate record guide Wills - Search National Archives Government | Wales Office | UK government History | National Archives
