Powis Castle and Garden

“I visited Powis Castle in July 2026. Inside the castle there aren’t as many rooms to explore as in many other castles, so don’t expect a long tour of the interior. The main highlight here is definitely the gardens. The gardens are absolutely breathtaking, with several levels full of beautiful plants, flowers, and stunning views. It’s an incredible place for a peaceful walk. Just be prepared for lots of stairs! The gardens are much lower than the castle, so the walk back up can be quite a workout. 😋 There’s also a lovely pond where we sat for a while. On a hot summer day it was so peaceful and refreshing. The grounds also have a large open lawn where children can run around and play. The only thing that disappointed me was that the information says there are peacocks roaming the grounds. I was really looking forward to seeing them, but when we visited there weren’t any left. If I remember correctly, they were lost a few years ago because of avian flu. Overall, this is a truly stunning place. Even if the castle itself is relatively small to explore, the magnificent gardens alone make it well worth visiting.”

“The most beautiful National Trust garden that I have visited, absolutely stunning! There is a lovely courtyard cafe and although the castle itself was closed, the grounds were so huge and impressive, it didn’t disappoint. I imagine it would be worth visiting at any point during the year, as the gardens will change from season to season, meaning there’s always something special to see. Definitely my favourite NT garden to date ❤️ (this visit was in the first week of October 2026)”

“Absolutely Stunning!! Spent a lovely day at Powis Castle. Beautiful garden and fruit orchards. We loved it 😍 Clive museum was full of beautiful artifacts from back home, spent hours looking at the historical events on large portrait. Even though it was 🌧️ we still managed to enjoy and click some lovely pictures. Finally had a lovely hot coffee at the cafe and ended the day😊”
