RE: Powis Castle in Welshpool - By Steve J Huggett
Great post. Fantastic images.
All my references of Wales go back to the famous Offa's Dyke and then the final conquest of Wales by King Endward I and Princes Llewelyn and Daffydd's horrendous deaths.
Interesting that this castle was actually built by the welsh.
I drool at this historical sites. Such a blessing to have the chance to walk those places.
Do you know whose statue is that in the second photograph?
Thanks @hlezama I have to say, I was really surprised at it being a Welsh castle too.
The Statue isn't of anyone, according to what I can find its;
"The statue depicts the winged female figure of Fame borne by Pegasus."

Just a piece of flashy art really :)
I see. Thanks.
Flashy art is always good to compensate for bloody history :)
