Powis Castle and Garden near Welshpool

	Welcome to Welshpool

		'Where Wales Begins'

Unusual and tender plants and climbers now
prosper in the shelter of high walls and
dense hedges. This garden is very steep,
but well worth the effort as the views are
also excellent. It is possible to make a
separate visit to the garden to enjoy the
seasonal interest in spring, summer and
autumn.

The world famous Garden, overhung with
enormous clipped yew trees, shelters rare
and tender plants in colourful herbaceous
borders. Laid out under the influence of
Italian and French styles, the Garden retains
its original lead statues, an orangery and an
aviary on the terraces.

In the eighteenth century an informal
woodland wilderness was created on the
opposing ridge with fine views over the
Severn Valley.
