Hay Bluff

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a beautiful area and is popular with hikers, paracenders, bikers and the general population at large. There is a narrow single track road, with ample passing places, that passes over the common below Hay Bluff and it goes onto the famed viewpoint of the Gospel Pass. There's the main car park below the Bluff but there's also ample parking off the road in dry weather too. Super place for family picnics and walks.

Gospel Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The highest road pass in Wales with views of Hay Bluff and Twmpa in the Black Mountains. It can be climbed from Hay-on-Wye or Abergavenny sides.

The road quality is better to descend down to Hay-on-Wye, the other side is more technical as it is narrow and twisty with lots of rough road surface.
