What is recorded here

Powis Castle, Aviary Terrace, Welshpool is a Post Medieval garden terrace in Powys, Wales. It is a recorded garden terrace, not a hidden chamber or lost castle room. The name suggests birds, open air and a place made for being seen. Whether people still walk there or only remember it, the terrace remains a shaped part of the castle landscape.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Powis Castle, Aviary 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 Aviary Terrace in Welshpool, was built by the Myddelton family in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is important as a fine example of early English Baroque architecture and as a historic seat of the Myddelton Earls of Westmeath, with extensive landscaped gardens that reflect evolving design styles over three centuries.
