Images from a recent visit to Powis Castle (Welsh ‘Castell Powys’), Welshpool, Powys, Wales. (We used the venue as our ‘Motorway Service Area’ during a journey, so our stay was quite brief - and covered the exterior areas only).
(Shot raw and processed using: DxO PhotoLab Elite/ ViewPoint and Adobe Lightroom Classic/ Photoshop).

1. Powis Castle was built in the mid-13th century by Welsh Prince Gruffudd ap Gwenwynwyn.
2. As time passed, the castle suffered all the usual 'castle issues' (total destruction, complete rebuilding and various changes of ownership).
3. In 1902 George Herbert (great-grandson of Edward Clive ‘Clive of India’) and his wife, Violet, began to modernise and remodel the castle and gardens.
4. The ‘golden era’ of the castle was during the Edwardian period, when it hosted many notable guests, including the Prince and Princess of Wales.
5. In 1952 the castle, gardens and grounds were bequeathed to the nation, and are now in the care of the National Trust.
