Powis Castle Garden View

Powis castle from its garden, Wales. Perched high on a rock above the world-famous garden terraces, Powis Castle was originally built circa 1200. The Castle & Gardens have been remodelled and embellished over more than 400 years and reflect the changing needs and ambitions of the Herbert family - each generation adding to the magnificent collection of paintings, sculpture, furniture and tapestries.
