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.
