What is recorded here
Powis Castle and terraced gardens is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps its terraces were built to hold gardens above the valley, shaping stone and soil into a visible staircase. Maybe visitors still walk those levels and feel the hand of the people who designed them.
