"Powis Castle and its gardens (in Wales, not far from the town of Welshpool), are maintained in superb condition by the National Trust. The castle itself, built on top of a hill commanding great views, is beautifully furnished, and houses the personal collection of Clive of India. The gardens are, if possible, even more impressive -- laid out on a grand plan, with spectacular flower beds, orchard trees and more, arranged in varied walled and open settings. The principal urinals are located close to the castle entrance, but this one (probably constructed for the gardeners) is handy if you have walked a long distance from them." |
