Dist:0.3km<br/>Dating from the 17th century, with some parts dating back to the 1300s. The building bears a blue plaque which informs us that the building is situated close to 'Lion Gate', one of the original entrances to the old town. A story is told that Oliver Cromwell stayed at the inn whilst the Roundheads besieged the nearby castle.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The road here curves around the edge of Hay towards the Dulas Brook which defines the border with England, crossing from Powys (formerly Breconshire/Sir Brecheiniog) into Herefordshire. Hay, originally The Hay, was a defended Norman border town whose name means the enclosure (la haie). Different parts of it used to be known locally as English Hay and Welsh Hay.
