The quietest part of Wales: Powys's rolling sheep country, the Elan Valley's Victorian dams and reservoirs, the Cambrian Mountains, and Hay-on-Wye — a small border town with more secondhand bookshops than pubs and a literary festival that fills it every May. Bannau Brycheiniog (the Brecon Beacons) reaches up into the south of the region, with an International Dark Sky Reserve.
