The photograph is of Penrhyn Castle and of all the ones we visited in Wales it was by far my favorite.Twas a longish drive to Powis Castle from Swansea but worth the visit. We drove up through the Brecon Becons to get there which is quite scenic even in the rain.
One of the first things we saw on entering the grounds was baby peacocks with mommy in pursuit :) Quite charming. Dad showed up later.
Powis is situated on the top of a steep slope and the craggy side is given over to terraces and lovely gardens.
The Clive of India exhibit inside the castle is very interesting.
A good site to visit to find out more about the history of the castle is http://www.castlewales.com/powis.html
