Powis Castle, Apple Slope Terrace, Welshpool

Garden Terrace

What is recorded here

Apple Slope Terrace at Powis Castle in Welshpool belongs to the Post Medieval period. The official national record recognises it as a garden terrace, but recognition does not claim that the whole place is open for everyone to walk. Behind that boundary, the slope may still hold the shape of hands that carried soil, planted apples or trimmed stones long before modern visitors arrived.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Powis Castle, Apple Slope Terrace, Welshpool as Garden Terrace from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Powis Castle, including the Apple Slope Terrace, was primarily developed in the 18th century by the Clive family, who held the title of Lord Powis. The terrace is significant as part of the landscaped gardens designed to complement the castle's architecture and reflect the tastes of the Welsh gentry during the Georgian period.
