Hello Andy, Taken for Granted and Susan. These grounds are open to the public just once a year, when a higher reservoir is emptied down the valley to a fountain where the jet shoots up as a 100ft fountain until the water is emptied! The 'castle' itself was a large and impractical house that lasted less than 100 years.
Here is a link to info. about the house and grounds. (Including a short video of the water arriving at the fountain.)
Lovely reflection!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely landscape with a great reflection in the water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful view - making me wonder if there is an actual castle somewhere nearby.
