Glasbury-on-Wye is a real find for river lovers. My top tip is the canoe hire. It is a prime choice for a low-cost day out on the water. You can paddle the gentle River Wye down to Hay. The village has a grand stone bridge from the 1700s. It stands over the river where the current is slow. You will find a large green common here for a free walk. The air is fresh and the hills are very green. It is a quiet spot with deep roots in the Welsh border lands. Life moves with the flow of the water. For a cheap trip, pack a lunch and sit by the bank. This is a true gem off the beaten track. It is calm and full of soul.
