Take a trip to the medieval Powis Castle - perched on a hilltop, overlooking Welshpool and the green Welsh fields, it opens up stunning views of the region.

Located inside the castle, the museum will take you on a journey into the past, back to the 17th-19th century. Enter the mysterious world of India and the Far East with more than 300 items and Asian artefacts from ivories, a collection of paintings, textiles and Hindu gods statues. You'll also find silver and gold, weapons and ceremonial armour. 

Time to go out and enjoy the garden! Powis Castle has marvellous Grade I listed gardens, including 17th-century Italianate terraces with gigantic clipped yews and an Edwardian Formal Garden.
