Watermouth Castle and Theme Park
Attraction Information
Step back in time and experience the simple pleasures of Victorian life at Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle. Marvel at the animated scenes, take a ride on the model railway, and watch in wonder as mechanical musical instruments like the self-playing piano and banjo come to life right before your eyes. The curiosities of the past are waiting to be explored!
Once you’ve emerged from the castle’s dungeon labyrinth, venture into the beautiful natural valley that plays host to the theme park. Take in the breathtaking views of the stunning North Devon Coast as you marvel at the Mighty Mortier Water Show, explore Gnomeland, and pan for gold alongside the hardworking Gnome residents.
For those looking for thrills, the park offers a wide array of rides and attractions. Take to the skies on the Junior Aviator, brave the rapids of The Big River Ride, or plunge down the mighty Tube Slide. You can also try your hand at crazy golf, crazy snooker, or test your sense of direction in the maze.
Throughout your visit, you’ll be entertained by the likes of Captain Andy and his talented dog band, as well as Goosey Gander and the Geezers. And for those who crave a little friendly competition, challenge your family to a round of Soft Ball Shooting Cannons or Water Wars – just be prepared to get a little wet!
Watermouth Family Theme Park and Castle has something for everyone, making it the perfect destination for a day of family fun and adventure.
