Twenty-four minute video about Powis Castle in Welsh with English subtitles #PowisCastle #NationalTrust youtube.com/watch?v=MLRF...
Picture shows mediaeval Powis Castle, which is made of red sandstone. It stands above a terraced garden with a flat lawn at the bottom. It is located very close to the town of Welshpool.
Been to Powis Castle #NationalTrust #PowisCastle No peacocks there any more, alas (bird flu), but I think I saw crows chasing an owl. It was a sunny mid afternoon but it didn't look like a buzzard

Well, I know we're not really supposed to post videos for #Birdoftheday but @alan678.bsky.social theme of #Feathers&Form means I can't resist also sharing this display by one of the #PowisCastle #Peacocks. Isn't he a beauty 😍

Matt and I have been having a long weekend since Thurs and went to the INCREDIBLE Powis Castle in Wales. Not only an amazing garden but inside the castle filled with treasures. Highly recommend. #powiscastle #nationaltrust
Photo from the rear courtyard looking towards the turreted main castle & in the middle ground is a statue of a horse & rider on a plinth. The castle is built of red stone.

Powis Castle today. Lovely drive from where we're staying. Interesting history & beautiful grounds. Well worth a visit, particularly the collection from India etc.

Hercules fighting the Hydra in the grounds of Powis Castle in Welshpool, Wales. I was in Welshpool attending a conference that year and decided to visit the Castle before it. The Greek myth is worth poring over as it's multilayered.

Glad to make it to #PowisCastle today, it felt like Spring 🌱 When the world is hard to comprehend having beautiful places like this to escape to is a blessing (loved the dragons 🏴)
#PowisCastle, and the tiger-themed, India-gleaned treasures of its ‘Clive Collection’, will feature in more ways than one.

Powis Castle courtyard seen through the castle gate portal
Statue of Fame in the Outer Courtyard of Powis Castle - National Trust Script. Lead and steel sculpture, Fame borne aloft by the Winged Horse Pegasus by Andrew Carpenter (c.1677 - London 1737), circa 1705. A life-size statue of Fame and Pegasus, the winged horse, signed by 'Andries Carpentière'. Fame, blowing a signalling trumpet, is carried triumphantly by the rearing winged horse. Set on a modern base of a lead trophy (1986). The composition, modeled by Andrew Naylor, is based on the marble group for Louis XIV's palace at Marly by Antione Coysevox (1640 - 1720). It was possibly cast from the same mould as a 'Pegausus and Fame for ye Fountain in ye high parterre' supplied by John Nost, the master of Carpenter, between 1705 and 1716, to Sir John Nicholas Shireburn of Stonyhurst, Lancashire. Supported by steel armature. Listed building - Grade II* - 'Statue of Fame in the Outer Courtyard of Powis Castle'
Divine place🌞
