Part Norman, part Jacobean, part Victorian, Hay Castle has been recently restored
and is now a centre for culture, arts and education. A lift gives access to all floors
apart from the cellar, and there is a ramp to access the entrance. To avoid the steps
at the large wooden doors down to the town centre, retrace the path out of the gate,
turn right and right again to find a pedestrian walkway into the main street. Tours are
available to book. Entry fee.

car park on Oxford Road, HR3 5DG.
