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.

Whenever we went on holiday to Devon, my family would always take me here. It was always fun!

Who remembers when Alton Towers had a fountain show just like this one?! Used to love it!

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 😂😂

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

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.

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!

Great to see you in Devon having fun Devon is amazing to live in xxx with the sea fronts and beach’s

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

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!

Nice to see watermouth castle open again. I enjoy watching the mortier organ with the water show and decap organ with the robots.

What a cool place so much to see the vacuum museum definitely doesn't suck! 😁👍

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

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!

Cool! Watermouth Castle Family Theme Park is a great Park! Especially it has a great castle!

Nice to see this place hasn’t changed from when I went as a kid. Equal parts innocent and absolutely terrifying.

Shawn this was so lovely, what a beautiful theme park. Of course my favourite bit was “he doesn’t look very operational ……… arrgghhhh!”

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!

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.

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.

Another great Vlog as always Shawn, this little family park looks amazing. It’s a great day out for the families

What a beautiful and unique park. Hadn't heard of it before, looks fascinating 🤩

Oh wow this looks amazing I love the views and everything there is amazing

Looked like a really cool unique place. The Dragon in the cave had me cracking up.

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.

It's been top weather for visiting place like this! Love it

Wow what an amazing place. I have never heard of it. Great video as well.

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!

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.

Fountain show absolutely stunning incredible

The list of places I want to go grows longer every time I watch a video of yours

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.😎👍

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.

Cool! So happy that the sun has started coming out

This is and was my favourite holiday Childhood park! Used to love it as a child 😊

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.

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

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Hi I'm a fan of watermouth

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,

Going to watermouth castle tomorrow. Can't wait!!

great video I have enjoyed watching this

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!

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. 😞

The museum is very interesting inside. Especially the old displays of Victorian life.

Loved the toboggan

Went there a few years ago its a great family day out remember leaving my kids in the maze as I ran for my life been chased by a wasp lol good times.

It looks no different to when I went over 15+ years ago. Gnome land was definitely there then and all the other quirky things around! I was expecting the croc to squirt you when you got close, as I'm sure it used to spray water! 🤣

The museum reminds me of Bygones at Babbacombe. If memory serves, there was a very elaborate Victorian street and WW1 Trench recreations.
