I've been paying visits to Hergest Croft Gardens for the best part of 20 years now. There are few people interested in Gardens that don't know about it's marvellous collection of plants. It holds the National Collection of Birches but also has superb specimens of many other trees & shrubs. Be sure to take the walk across to Parkwood and it's treasures.
The web-site will give a lot more information than I can give

Ok. It's not in the same class as Windsor, Warwick or Edinburgh but a castle's a castle.
To be honest if you weren't told the hilly bit behind New Radnor was a castle you'd probably think it was a hilly bit.
The castle today consists of a great ringwork set on a natural buff overlooking the town of New Radnor. This ringwork was once heavily defended in stone and there appears to be traces of four corner towers and a twin towered gatehouse to the north. This gatehouse was further protected by a double ditch, the outermost cut of which is obviously unfinished and probably dates to the rebuilding of 1233. Beyond this is a large outer ward with foundations of a building which may have been a great hall or stables.
If you look up the web-site below you'll see that it had a long and dramatic career as a castle in times that were a bit chaotic to say the least.
