Watermouth Castle, Victorian castle in Berrynarbor, England.
The stone structure features two principal fronts and maintains its original architectural elements from 1825, including retaining walls and a rear courtyard.
Joseph Davie Bassett constructed this residence after selling his previous home, Orleigh, choosing the location near Watermouth Cove as his main dwelling.
The castle houses a collection of Victorian domestic tools and entertainment machines, reflecting the daily life and leisure activities of 19th-century England.
Visitors can access multiple themed sections within the grounds, including Adventure Land and Merry Go Land, with an admission fee required for entry.
During World War I, the castle served as a military hospital while Edith Bassett began selling portions of the surrounding Bassett family lands.
