Hay Bluff
Hay Bluff is a prominent hill at the northern tip of the Black Mountains, an extensive upland massif which straddles the border between south-east Wales and England. Its flat summit which overlooks the middle Wye Valley and the booktown of Hay-on-Wye is marked by a triangulation pillar at a height of 677 metres (2,221 ft).
The hill is largely within the Welsh county of Powys though parts of its eastern flanks lie within the English county of Herefordshire.
Access
The Offa's Dyke national trail makes a steep ascent of the hill's northern slopes and then heads southeastwards along the broad ridge of the Black Mountain. A more gentle path to the summit follows the crest of the north-facing scarp, known as Ffynnon y Parc, from the road summit 1 mile to the southwest at Gospel Pass. The entire hill is designated as open country thus providing walkers with the freedom to roam at will.[1]
