Attention all book lovers! You don’t need to spend a lot of time looking for a good bookshop because there’s a whole town in Wales that’s dedicated to books. Internationally recognised as the “Town of Books”, this small Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye is home to the largest private collection of books in the world with over 40 independent bookstores selling specialist and second-hand books.

The town’s book obsession began in 1961 when a Welsh bibliophile Richard Booth opened his first second-hand bookshop in the town’s old fire station. Hay-on-Wye then earned its popularity as the “Town of Books” and since 1988, it has been the venue for a literary festival that draws thousands of visitors every year. If you have that great desire for books, you should visit this town before all the books are gone.
Head down to Wales, United Kingdom to buy books from Hay-on-Wye before they’re all gone.
