Gregynog is a large victorian country mansion with 750 acres of land in the village of Tregynon near Newtown. It has a chequered interesting history, it was once a landed estate but is now in the care of the Gregynog Trust and rented out as a conference venue along with wedding & events. A truly beautiful building.

We thoroughly enjoyed visiting this castle. Such a photogenic place with stunning views. There were information boards all around the grounds too.

The Montgomeryshire County War Memorial stands on top of Town Hill next to the trig point at 320m. It stands in memory of the people of Montgomeryshire killed at war. Originally erected and dedicated to those killed in WW1 it has since been redesignated in memory of all lives lost in conflict. The Town Hill is a nice walk from Montgomery town and offers great views of the surrounding countryside.

Montgomery Castles ruins sit on a steep crag above Montgomery with views over the English - Welsh border. Building started in 1223 but like many of the castles nearby it fell in the English Civil War and was partially destroyed in 1649 to stop it being used by the Royalists. Now it's managed by Cadw and open daily from 10:00 - 18:00 during the summer and 10:00 - 16:00 in the winter. Admission is free. It's about a 3 min walk from the road so push your bike or lock it safely.

Newtown is the largest town in Powys. Situated on the banks of the River Severn, it is close to lots of beautiful countryside and is a great base for exploring this part of Wales. Within the town you find a good choice of accommodation, places for food and drink, shops, and other attractions.
