What is recorded here
Upper Pool is a Post Medieval reservoir inside Powis Castle Park, holding water beneath the castle rather than beside it. It is the kind of place where people rowed at dusk, dropped coins into dark water, or watched rain draw a silver line across the surface. The pool does not need a grand story; it is a made lake, keeping the estate company long after the day leaves.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Upper Pool, Powis Castle Park as Reservoir 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
