The Llanfair-Welshpool steam railway
Your journey begins on the edge of the historic market town of Welshpool. Right from the start it is all action as the train battles up the notoriously steep Golfa Bank accompanied by the sound of the locomotive echoing off the hills.

From the open balconies of our unique Austrian coaches you will see the beautiful mid Wales countryside roll slowly by as you travel into the delightful Banwy Valley.

Corris Craft Centre is situated in Mid Wales along the scenic A487 between Machynlleth and Dolgellau. Surrounded by lush green trees and dramatic views we invite you to relax and look round our craft centre where you will find a interesting selection of welsh handmade gifts. Six craftspeople are based at the craft centre and each has a workshop attached to a shop where you can buy original handmade gifts. Candles, jewellery, leather goods, pottery, wooden toys and turned wood are just some of the items you will find.

Powis Castle
Medieval castle rising dramatically above the celebrated garden.

The world-famous garden, overhung with enormous clipped yews, shelters rare and tender plants. Laid out under the influence of Italian and French styles, the garden retains its original lead statues, an orangery and an aviary on the terraces. In the 18th century an informal woodland wilderness was created on the opposite ridge. Perched on a rock above the garden terraces, the castle contains one of the finest collections in Wales. It was originally built c.1200 by Welsh princes and was subsequently adapted and embellished by generations of Herberts and Clives, who furnished the castle with a wealth of fine paintings and furniture.

A beautiful collection of treasures from India is displayed in the Clive Museum. The 19th-century state coach and livery, the finest in the ownership of the National Trust, is on display in the recently opened coach house.
