About

Welshpool Castle ward encompasses the historic core of Welshpool town, centred around the medieval Powis Castle and its renowned terraced gardens. The area includes the castle grounds and immediate residential streets, blending historic significance with local community life. The ward's character is heavily defined by the presence of this major National Trust property, which overlooks the town from its prominent hilltop position.

The ward contains a mix of housing and green space directly associated with the castle estate. It is a distinct administrative area within the larger town, separate from the commercial centre. The landscape is shaped by the steep slopes below the castle walls, creating a clear visual and topographical divide from the lower-lying parts of Welshpool.
