Astley Book Farm

Warwickshire

You could while hours away in the book barn – even their clock reminds you to “make time to read”. Particularly charming is their Children’s Hayloft, a hideaway filled with books for youngsters.

在阿斯特利农场书店你随便走一走就能消磨掉个把小时，就算那块可爱的表滴答催促着你也并没有用。最有意思的是这里有个堆满童书的隐秘干草棚，专门为前来的小读者准备。

The whole village of Hay-on-Wye

Hay-on-Wye is essentially a village built on bookshops. So we couldn’t pick just one bookshop here, though Addyman and Booth’s are both faves.

这个小镇是世界上第一个二手书小镇Hay-on-Wye。它因为坐落在River Wye的东岸而得名，位于英格兰与威尔士的交界处，是Brecon Beacons国家公园的一部分。全镇有超过30家书店，大部分都是经营二手书的。从1988年开始，每年六月前十天都会举行由《每日电讯》(Daily Telegraph)赞助的文化节Hay Festival，展开一系列的文化活动。
