Powis Castle, Welshpool, Mid Wales - a photo on Flickriver

            Built circa 1200 as a fortress for the Welsh Princes in their struggle to hold onto their kingdom, Powis Castle has undergone many changes over the centuries. It is now in the care of the National Trust having been gifted to them by the 4th Earl of Powis in 1952.

One of its many attractions are the formal terraces and gardens which can be seen from this side of the castle. They were hewn from the rock during the 1670’s under the direction of Adrian Duvall of Rouen. The large yew trees on the upper terrace are several hundred years old and some are trimmed into abstract topiary.
