    May I suggest Alnwick castle.

    Its got lots to see,
    Morris dancers, birds of prey "show" a restraunt in a tree house (honest)fantastic gardens, and whole bunch of other stuff I can't remember (went there abourt 4 years ago)

    But the best bit for me, is all the fountains and water features

    This is the "Grand cascade" Which is computer controlled and keeps changing, not to mention all the other water features (But if i post pictures you won't want to go)

    Only "problem" that we found was distance (its in Northumbria) and size of it, so we stayed in a hotel over the road for 2 knights (my humour)

    website

    If you really want to see it (don't if you are thinking of going, it will spoil it) I found this clip on u tube

    edited to add clip

    We went there last summer(?), the pics you have up of the fountain are of The Alnwick Garden near the castle but both places were well worth visiting.
