- Join me as I head to Watermouth Castle Family Theme Park located in Devon! In this action packed vlog I experience everything this unique attraction has to offer for the first time. I start off inside the castle itself by taking a walk through all of the different rooms and displays. I then head out into the main part of the park and discover all of the quirky theming and details! I also share on ride POV's from the Toboggan Run, Snail Ride and a beautifully landscaped boat ride. Along with that, I share highlights from the fantastic fountain show and much more as I enjoy Watermouth Castle for the first time!

7:48 it's taken years of my life to find video evidence of this hunchback in the dungeon because I can remember being scared of it as a little lad so vividly. thank you theme park worldwide!
It is supposed to resemble the hunchback of Notre Dame because he is ringing a bell. It also had a sound effect of a bell ringing but very creepy and a whirring sound to represent his bones creaking I think. Also there was a headstone down there too with a skeleton reflected on it playing bagpipes. It feels like you are in a cave down there and trapped in with a light somewhere.
In the dungeon you basically walk down the stairs towards a door that you open and then there is a window. You push the button in and a secne from Gulliver's Travels lights up. Then you Walk round the corner where there is a Hansel and gretel secne. Then down the next hallway is Snow White. Next to that is a Mineshaft with miners digging for gold. In the next tunnel is a headstone that lights up with a skeleton playing bagpipes and at the other end is the hunchback of notre damn. The next hallway is themed to look like an old street full of shops behind doors and windows with Greensleeves. There is a carpenter, chandler, taxidermist, potter, saddler and weaver. You walk through a door then into a room with lots of penny machines before you enter the haunted vault. It is like a hallway with a cell where there is a crack in the wall and if you watch, a ghost appears and then dissapears. There is also a door with a window that you peer into and there is a man looking down into a crystal ball. The best part though is a little shed that you open and there is a witch inside but when you close the door, the doorknob vibrates. On the entry to the Smugglers Dungeon, there is an infinity mirror and sailor man. When you get in, there is a loud noise as a man in the cell rattles the door saying " open the door!". Lots of noises happen as it shoots air at you when you walk through the tunnel and through the low walkway into the section where the pirates are drinking rum. There is a person hanging from the ceiling as you go out. The last but is a Dungeon maze where you walk through rubber bars, hallway of funny mirrors and a cycle muesum.
@@youngamericanferret422thank you for this in depth summary! it was the hunchback of Notre dame I couldn't find any footage or images of- proper scared me as a child and now I can see it again without making the trek down south to get there
"Doesn't look very operationa-"
famous last words
So funny!

Captain Andy’s Revue was at Thorpe Park for years. Part of my childhood.
wild to think it was originally all the way from Baltimore, US!
I remember it being at Thorpe Park too, it then moved to Pleasurewood Hills in Lowestoft
More info regarding this animatronic show: animatronicbands.fandom.com/wiki/Captain_Andy%27s_River_Towne_Band
Whenever we went on holiday to Devon, my family would always take me here. It was always fun!
Always loved this place as a kid-especially the Mortier Water show.Was also scarred by that dungeon for a good few years as a youngun, don’t make many places like Watermouth!
The first I went, I was going down the stairs to the dungeon and I pressed the button on the Gulliver secne whilst I was really scared about the creepy bit at the end but when the light went out, I screamed because I felt like I had to keep on going through but luckily I found the door to take me outside. Also when I saw the sign that said All Things Spooky pointing towards the Hansel and Gretel secne, I almost was in tears. I love it down there now though 😂😂
Who remembers when Alton Towers had a fountain show just like this one?! Used to love it!
My friend,living in EXETER [SOUTH DEVON] I'd always Believed I knew Everything about North Devon, it's a place that's SPIRITUAL Place to me. I feel In-love back in late 80's & early 90's when my friends & i did Surfing. Now you've shown me this Beautiful place. It's THANKS to guys like you who show us like. Even people who live near people.
It’s amazing to see how the boat ride jungle has grown and developed since it first opened in the early 2000s, where the plants were barely the size they are!
As a Dutchie, I have to admit:
I'm a sucker for seemingly incoherent, weird stuff.
Absolutely loved this place!
Absolutely love such honest and fulfilling content like this. Seeing a park for the first time and giving it the publicity that it clearly deserves!
Really enjoy passing a Sunday afternoon watching this
Thank you for all Shaun! Great to see
Thank you very much!
Nice to see this place hasn’t changed from when I went as a kid. Equal parts innocent and absolutely terrifying.
I haven't been to watermouth castle since my kids were younger, thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories
My mum and dad took me here when I was a kid thanks for some great memories Shawn
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Shawn for your channel, its great to see these places when I can no longer leave my house. Its been great watching you and Charlotte such nice people. Thanks again keep on riding
Thanks for watching!
Watermouth Castle was always a favourite day out when I was a kid. I took my niece and nephew there a couple of years ago and they loved it too!
2:02 I've Know This Audio Animatronics. It's The One From The Series 2 Episode Of Rosie And Jim The Original Series In 1990. Now That's Awesome. Thanks Mate. X
The memories this brings back for me is incredible. Came here all the time as a kid with my grandparents and now I live literally a 5 min walk away
Great to see you in Devon having fun Devon is amazing to live in xxx with the sea fronts and beach’s
Nice to see watermouth castle open again. I enjoy watching the mortier organ with the water show and decap organ with the robots.
This place looks great and I especially love that they have the attraction that used to be known as Cap’n Andys revue from Thorpe.
It’s great to see!
Great little park, rather quirky but beautiful grounds. We’ve had many happy days out here when the kids were younger. Toboggan is great fun!
27:21 Oh my God, it's Cap'n Andy!!! They had him at Thorpe Park in the 80s and 90s and he was such a huge part of my childhood. This place just gets better and better!
It’s such a hidden gem of a park!
I found this by accident on one holiday and I've got to say, I absolutely love this place so much, its so absolutely janky and bonkers and hilarious and terrifying. Its unique and Im so happy that you gave it a bigger platform cus this place is number 1 for weird attractions.
This video has unlocked a memory for me! I clicked on it having no idea where it was and as soon as you went into the dungeon I remember going there as a child on my family trip to Devon years and years ago! I always wondered where it was I went on a toboggan ride as a child and now I know!
That’s great to hear!
The first family holiday I remember included visiting this place in 1999 when I was 4 years old and we revisited again 10 years later in 2009 when I was 14. Watching this made me quite emotional as I felt like I was there all over again. Thank you for a great video. Even though I am now 27 (going on 28) I would love to go back with my family just to experience this once last time.
Blimey goes back to my childhood Devon holidays nothing has changed ! So lush to experience it again with you and how everything is in so good condition too!
Shawn this was so lovely, what a beautiful theme park. Of course my favourite bit was “he doesn’t look very operational ……… arrgghhhh!”
This is the kind of place that needs to be declared a national treasure to remain protected from too many updates or destruction ... thanks Shawn!
Definitely!
it's a grade II listed building iirc
Without a doubt. It has a new company running it now though called Escapade and they are planning to put some new rides in the park area but hopefully, they won't change much of the inside bit.
I have been visiting this park since the late 80s early 90s and it is absolutely brilliant. Quirky and fun. The grounds are immaculate. You can easily spend all day here, especially if you take your time to look at everything on offer.
The dark ride scene on the snail ride used to be based at Watermouth Castle’s (now defunct) sister park, Once Upon A Time, but instead of teddy bears, it was The Smurfs! Exactly the same set up, but they’ve just replaced the figures with teddy bears!
The smurf dark ride was on a similar train layout but as you rode on the outside section you would be greeted by characters from The Wind in the Willows!
yes! i'm so glad someone else remembers this too! very weird that they've retrofitted all the smurfs animatronics but the gargamel remains the same.
With that voice you could be a transfer rep in majorca,
So pulling away from Palma Airport, you'll notice that it's very hot today on majorca it's 1 million degrees so please keep hydrated, just sit back relax and we'll be down in Alcudia in around 40 minutes thankyouuuu
I have extremely fond memories of visiting watermouth castle as a child. Oddly brilliant and bizarre.
Cool! Watermouth Castle Family Theme Park is a great Park! Especially it has a great castle!
25:25 honestly made me laugh so much, it took you by surprise! This place looks absolutely amazing.
What a cool place so much to see the vacuum museum definitely doesn't suck!
😁👍
It's been top weather for visiting place like this! Love it
Fountain show absolutely stunning incredible
Been their twice,one of the best places in Devon to visit , its got something for old and young alike, and for a great day out its perfect for all the family.😎👍
this place looks amazing , creepy as well.
The list of places I want to go grows longer every time I watch a video of yours
Brilliant place to go! We thought it will be a good couple of hour we ended up spending the whole day! Got to go back to check out the new additions.
I live in Devon and never knew this existed! Definitely going now at some point. :)
I visited here when I was about 7...I really enjoyed it and jt is so nice to watch this video gives me quite a big throwback... loving the content
Hello Shawn, this was a great Vlog and it's great to see the very different and decent heritage of the Watermouth Castle Family Theme Park throughout. Thank you for giving us a great commentary, it's much appreciated. Cheers Peter :) p.s. thank you for sharing us your experience, I am glad you had a good time.
Really want to go now with my family! Love what you are doing with the smaller places and showing them off to people who didn't know about these places!!
Thank you! This is a gem of a park!
Glad you enjoyed you’re time with us! Was lovely meeting you☺️ - the operator on Snails
It was great to meet you!
Hi I'm a fan of watermouth
Fun fact about that scary crocodile animatronic at 16:58! It has an infamous reputation online for triggering ‘submechanophobia’ - the fear of submerged man-made objects and machinery. Another classic example is a similar, though much larger animatronic of a mythical creature called a Bunyip in Australia.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow what an amazing place. I have never heard of it. Great video as well.
What a beautiful and unique park. Hadn't heard of it before, looks fascinating 🤩
Wasn’t a troll Shaun ! That’s further round , that was a digging mole
Visited here in late 1989, remember the vintage amusements and water show very well.
I’m from Devon and this was a childhood staple for me. Always recommend people to visit this place at least once. I loved it. And going through that dungeon beats any ghost train lol
It’s incredible!
That's where it ended up, captain Andy show, used to run on tape and compressed air, then got changed to a pc software called showcad, great price of kit. Miss the original Thope Park. Enjoyed working there..
i was terrified of this place as a kid. it’s not hard to see why 😂😂😳
This is and was my favourite holiday Childhood park! Used to love it as a child 😊
Next time your up in North Yorkshire you should go to fobidon Valley as the first bit of the vlog reminds me of there and I think u will enjoy it
So happy you visited here after I recommend to you after your Devon and Cornwall road trip last year. Water mouth had a tough 2 years as they weren't allowed to open in 2020.
All the work on the gardens, Castle and rides are all done in house and all profits go on adding to the collection and towards new attractions.
As people have said Captain Andy's was at Thorpe park but the boat ride figures were in the African Tiki Show at Windsor saferi park. The boat ride itself and props around the park were from a boat ride that was at Cricket St Thomas during the Mr blobby days.
Loved it here very much!
This park looks amazing.
Nice one Shawn, great video. We went yesterday after seeing it and had an amazing time. What a lovely place, so much to see. The kids can’t wait to go back and are seemingly watching your vlog on loop now 😄
It's so nice to see the walkthrough attractions havent changed a bit since I was little. Love this place. i don't believe the boat ride was there when I was a kid though. It looks great.
Such a great place!
Looked like a really cool unique place. The Dragon in the cave had me cracking up.
I went here 5 years ago! I remember the robot band! There was only Merry-Go-Land, the troll cave and the snail ride!!
Went here at least 30 years ago, bits of it are coming back to me, what i do remember is that it was a very rainy day - you looked out on the weather though, lovely place, very well kept
Another magical place that I went to on holiday as a child, then with my children, lots has changed but still looks magical. Great to see you at these wonderful places, If your passing Bude on your travels I would love to show the not even a tenth finished little atraction I'm building in Bude Town.
We've got some really amazing hidden quirky parks near us lurking around Essex, this park looks so awesomely adventurous well themed with Alice in wonderland and Edward scissor hands combined this extraordinary unique park looks like it's got huge potential which is designated for families, the theme park itself seems totally underrated,
Ah how nice its actually sunny out this time! Bright and hot
Stayed there in one of the onsite cottages with my 3yo a few years ago. Has an on site swimming pool for guests too. Cheap as chips for 7 nights 3 beds. Also can use the park after hours, not the manned rides obvz
Never heard of this park before. I do love quirky places like this. Looks so fun
It certainly is!
I love places that flip between twee and creepy - sort of nightmarish! Looks amazing, good vid 👍
Oh wow this looks amazing I love the views and everything there is amazing
Another great Vlog as always Shawn, this little family park looks amazing. It’s a great day out for the families
Such a beautiful and unique theme park that so many people haven’t heard about purely because it doesn’t have any thrill rides or coasters !!! Reminds me of Blackgang Chine on the Isle of Wight
thank you for always showing the kids rides great a mum to see good places etc too take my kids x
Thank you!
Had never heard of this place, I’m going to Devon in August I’ll give this place a visit for sure. Great video Shawn. Don’t know if you have been but I was in shoreham today and there was quite a big fun fair, I would love to see a vlog down there.
Have a great time!
This was my childhood. I was terrified of the singing robots 💀 If you’ve been there you might remember the little puppet show in the arcade room thung
yes
Omg I’ve been here!! Went here when I was 10! Amazing memories unlocked with this video! We stayed at the lodges
That brought back some memories, we were there about 20 + years ago, hasn’t changed much at all, what a crazy place ! Nice one Shauny… ✌🏻❤️💥
Loved it here! Thanks for watching!
Wow this place rules..awesome for little ones
I've been to watermouth castle I love it❤❤
What a cool and unique park! It’s great to see that the Magic Roundabout animatronics and Pink Panther signage from the ‘TV’s Family Favorites’ ride are still in good condition. Did you happen to catch the Flowerpot Men, Clangers and K-9 animatronics which are there as well?
Love how much history this park has!
where is the K-9 animatronic in the park? i know about the bill and ben and clangers ones and where they are located but have never spotted a K-9 in all the numerous times i've been there!
@@MajoraWaffle K-9 is in the robot band show in the castle! :)
@@merrymermaid oh wow, really?! never knew he was retrofitted to that moony beams band, but it does make sense now that you mention it. thanks!
I love the robot band. They play all the Watermouth Castle classics.
As myself, I have a very bad fear of Animatronics! My family wants to go but I am dead afraid. 😂
There was a video on Facebook that I watched years ago where this lady went who was terrified of it and she spent the whole walk through the castle covering her eyes.
Ello! So this is my favourite place in the world, I can tell you one thing about those houses you wondered about as you walked past them on the enchanted walk. Those weren't always there, they went up some time in the 90s iirc - so I assume they're where the Haines' who own the castle live, now they're all grown and have their own families and so might have overrun the living space left in the castle itself. I don't know for sure, this is all guesswork, but those houses didn't use to be there, I remember that!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys for this volg was absolutely 💯 ausume really enjoyed 👍 this one fantastic 👏 volg one off best I seen thanks 😊 for sharing ❤ was just so much to look at fantastic thanks 😊
This is my type of park: the quirkiness and craftsmanship is awesome! I wish we had some places like this in the US (maybe we do but I don't know of them). If anyone knows of some, I would love to find out😊
I been there it fun
Watermouth castle is just- brilliant 👏
I remember we went to Watermouth Castle a few years ago with Denbon after he was watching lots of videos of it and there was a video of the dungeon and the first bit with the fairytales were ok and the bit with the shops but there was a really creepy bit at the end. He waa talking to us about how excited he was to go and see Gulliver and the Gingerbread Man. We arrived and walked into the robot band room and everything looked really tiny and more dim in every room. It was almost like walking through a toy dolls house. It was loud in the robot room so we walked into the kitchen where there was a lady at the table cooking and there was nobody else in there. We were walking around talking about everything and it was all coming together from when we last went. We walked through a room with newspaper on the wall which i had seen on the video i watched. Then we were back in the great hall which was weird as i thought there was another room. I also remember from when i went the time before, there was a room with curtains that we walked through twice. Then we went in the railway room that i remember from the first time we came and i was trying to get past lots of people to have a look. We walked into the next room which i can remember and there was a man sat with his headohones on. He started to move when i walked in and there was nobody else in there as we were first in. We walked through the other rooms that i can remember walking through the first time but i could not find the room with the curtains. I thought that there was more rooms but i saw in the bext room a sign on the wall pointing down saying " Dungeons". Denbon was getting quite anxious when we saw that but he was trying to get downstairs. We walked downstairs and Denbon got excited as we could hear the music on Gulliver. We saw a door at the bottom of the stairs and Denbon started to panic about that really creepy bit at the end. We walked in and saw Gulliver but he looked way bigger than he did on the video. I asked Denbon who that was and shouted Gulliver and then was having a panic attack whilst trying to find the way out as i thought the last time we came, it was as soon as we came through the door. Then, the light went out on Gulliver and he screamed as he thought the light stayed on the whole time and i was saying how creepy it was but i pressed it again. He thought that when the light went out, you had to keep on going through and he didn't want to go through that really creepy bit at the end. We walked round the corner and saw a sign saying this way for all things spooky. He was almost in tears as we saw Hansel and Gretel and i pointed it out that the gingerbread man was over there but he was just having so much of a panic attack that he went straight out the door. He explained to me once he calmed down that he was scared of that really creepy bit at the end but when we came out the door, we saw people walking out the exit door already. We later tried to go back in again but it was all quiet in there and i saw the banner saying Hansel and Gretel in the door that was dark that the gingerbread man was in. I told him when he was freaking out again that we can just press the light on Gulliver but he ran back outside. It was the funniest thing ever.
17:05 terrifying. doesn’t help my phobia 😂
Wow, what a hidden gem. 💙 When you said it was a combination of a load of your interests - I was thinking the exact same thing! I could probably spend the whole day just pottering around the museum. I'd have to give myself a second day for the park. 😅 Blackgang Chine used to have its own little museum like the section seen at 8:10 (much bigger than the tiny landslide/whale exhibit they have now) and I was gutted when they closed the doors. 😞
That bit is like you are in a little village or something.
The museum reminds me of Bygones at Babbacombe. If memory serves, there was a very elaborate Victorian street and WW1 Trench recreations.
great video I have enjoyed watching this
We are going to visit there now after watching this, it looks one of the best parks of the kind I've ever seen. We are in Devon in August so it will be 100% on our things to do list. Thank you for introducing us to what looks a great day out.
Have a great time!
Such a fantastic video … what an amazing place Shawn .. would really love to visit with my family if we get the chance 🙂
WOW what a castle would love to visit thanks for the tour
I went there back in may. It was a really different experience and I really enjoyed it! There was so much to look at and the water show was so fun and patriotic 😂
Absolutely love it!
Had my 4th visit here only yesterday brilliant place thanks for uploading this brings back memories
This seems like such a lovely relaxed park. I love history so I think that I would really enjoy this.
It certainly is!
The museum is very interesting inside. Especially the old displays of Victorian life.
went here a few years ago its a great place to go if youre on holiday in Devon, me and the kids loved the taboggans!
What an awesome park. You do make us laugh Shawn hey big spender. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
You just can’t beat vintage coin op . G O T A K O R ! 😘🇦🇺
I loved this place as a kid even my older sister went here when she was little
I remember going to watermouth castle when I was younger I remember going down to the dungeon area pretty creepy and also the haunted vault as I do remember seeing like a dark alley way or tunnel where there large skeleton Monster peeking from behind the corner then slowly went back behind the corner I remember really good back then with gnome land with the troll and the gnome pulling a mole or some creature as well I remember both the fountain show as well as the snake slide really good miss the good old days.?
That dark alleyway with the monster was probably Qausmodo as it is in a cell and you press the button. When you press the button, it is ringing a bell with a creepy sound effect on it.
