Description
The raised terrace located to the southeast of the castle features steps leading into the garden and is a significant element of the late 17th-century layout of the castle and its gardens. Characterized by stone and brick revetment walls with squared balustraded parapets, the terrace includes stone steps with similar balustrading that descend from the eastern entrance to the castle. A rectangular square sundial is positioned towards the eastern end of the terrace. The terrace and steps are believed to be the work of William Winde and were likely part of the original design, which included a small pavilion at the eastern end, used as a banqueting chamber. This pavilion was depicted in early illustrations of Powis and was still present at the end of the 18th century but may have been removed during early 19th-century repairs and modifications to the castle and gardens.
