Powis Castle and Garden
Powis Castle near Welshpool commands the Welsh borderland from its rocky crag with the authority of a fortress that has never quite forgotten it was built to dominate. But the real revelation is the terraced baroque garden below — one of the greatest in Britain, cascading down the hillside in a series of formal terraces dripping with ancient yew and rare plants.
- Spectacular terraced baroque gardens
- Medieval castle with border history
- Outstanding Clive of India collections
Best for garden lovers and those fascinated by Wales's turbulent history.
