What is recorded here
Powis Castle terrace and gardens is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the terrace edges still hold the heat of hands that shaped stone before dusk. Maybe gardens grew in answer to patience rather than force. Imagine a person walking the edge at midnight, reading the land instead of being read by it.

Built by the Herbert family, Earls of Powis, in the 17th and 18th centuries, Powis Castle terrace and gardens are important as a fine example of early English landscape design and aristocratic patronage in Wales.
