Powis Castle, Garden Terraces, Welshpool stands as a recorded Post Medieval historic place in Powys, Wales. The terraces may have carried gardeners, guests or quiet watchers along edges where stone met soil.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Powis Castle, Garden Terraces, Welshpool as Recorded historic place 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 was built in the 13th century by the Welsh prince Llywelyn the Great and later held by the Earls of Powis, a prominent Welsh noble family. It is important for its historic association with Welsh heritage and its beautifully preserved 18th-century garden terraces, which are among the finest in Britain.
