...and the oldest fountain in Britain. We had a bit of a panic attack when our kids started running around the fountain playing tag. Kids somehow don't have a sense of antiquity ;) Then again I suppose it is 500 years old and probably isn't going anywhere soon. The docent at the castle took us around and showed us the dungeon etc. He said that they sweep a full bucket of sand out of the castle daily (sand from the sandstone used to make the castle)
