Powis Castle

Powis Castle sits high above Welshpool and is one of Mid Wales’ most impressive historic landmarks. Originally built around 1200 as a medieval fortress by a Welsh prince, it was later transformed into a grand country house. Today it is cared for by the National Trust and welcomes visitors from across the UK and beyond.
