What is recorded here
Duck Pool is a Post Medieval reservoir inside Powis Castle Park, recorded in the National Monuments Record of Wales. It is not a natural lake but a made water feature, likely formed to serve the estate, reflect light, or give ducks and people a place to gather. The pool may have been dug, lined and shaped by hands that are no longer named. Its water still belongs to the park, even if the makers have vanished.
