That's right. Both places have a clock tower...Hay-on-Wye is an amazing town with the label of a book town. The book festival is full of celebrities. The 'king' of Hay is even trying to ban ereaders! I am very fortunate to have relatives that live there; I love the town.
It is a beautiful place with antique, craft and book shops. There is an amazing river. However, Hay is also a real place with real people: farmers, factory workers, shop keepers, cooks, chefs, hairdressers, bin men, teachers and cleaners. Not everyone who lives there is rich. There is at least one deprived estate. I suppose I am asking you to look at it twice if you visit. You'd be surprised at what's hidden.
