Watermouth Castle is a building in Watermouth, Devon, England, designed by George Wightwick as a residence for the Basset family in the mid 19th-century and is not a true castle but a country house built to resemble one. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.[1]
Located near the shore of the inlet of Watermouth, near Ilfracombe, Devon, the castle houses a collection of Victorian antiques centred around domestic tools and amusement machines, a family theme park and holiday apartments.[2] The Bassets left the castle in 1945.
