THE CASTLE MUSEUM
The castle itself is packed full of historical artifacts, displays and curiosities - it even has a legendary smuggler's tunnel, located deep in the dungeon.
Victorian History, and more...
Life-size displays, dioramas and models will teach you about Victorian life in the household, as well as the history of the castle through the ages. It was used as a home for wounded Army Officers during the First World War, and during the Second World War it was the headquarters for operation P.L.U.T.O. (Pipe-Line-Under-The-Ocean)!
A Museum of Curiosities
Explore the castle's incredible collection of curiosities, where there's something weird and wonderful around every corner - whether it's a museum of vaccum cleaners, a vintage dairy parlour, working robots, antique fortune-telling machines, or a giant model railway...
Outdoor Rides and Attractions
After you've finished exploring the castle, take to the great outdoors, and spend time enjoying Watermouth Castle's green gardens, and its collection of rides and attractions!
