Hay-on-Wye declared itself an independent kingdom in 1977 and is world renown as the second-hand book capital of the World. Hay-on-Wye is also known for the annual Hay Festival of Literature and the HowTheLightGetsIn philosophy and music festival, both held at the end of May. The town is ideally suited for visiting the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Welsh Marches. Hay Castle has undergone an extensive renovation and is now fully open as major new visitor centre for culture, arts and education. Hay-on-Wye has lively weekly Thursday Market, which features many local artisans and producers.

Dark Orchard CL is a level, well sheltered site with 5 grass pitches spread over a 2 1/2 acre site, with plenty of space for awnings and pup tents etc. The site is bordered on one side by the Dulas Brook and divided by the Nantyglasdwr Stream. Access to the local footpath network is direct from the site, including the Wye Valley Walk and Offa's Dyke paths. There is a 2 mile circular river-side walk from the site, all dog and wheelchair friendly. The local Co-op Supermarket is a 5 minute walk from the site.
