Welshpool and Powis Castle

The town of Welshpool holds markets on Saturday and Monday, houses the Welshpool to Llanfair Light Steam Railway and is on the Montgomery Canal.

The world famous pink castle sits on a bluff with enormous clipped yew hedges billowing out below. Powis Castle Garden was influenced by both Italian and French style gardens. The gardens are laid out on terraces and shelter rare and tender plants.

Powis Castle is medieval and was originally built as a fortress by Welsh princes, but was later adapted and enriched by generations of Herberts and Clives. It now contains one of the finest collections of paintings and furniture in Wales.
