🚗🎃 MISS CLEMENTINE IS OUT & ABOUT!
We've escaped the Castle for the day and brought Miss Clementine down to Sea Ilfracombe! 🌊❤️
This brilliant FREE community festival is taking place in Ilfracombe today and tomorrow, with live music, local food, family entertainment and plenty going on throughout the day.
It's organised by an amazing little team of unpaid local volunteers, so we're very happy to be down here supporting such a fantastic community event. ❤️
And you may notice Clementine has had a slight autumn makeover... 👀🎃🍂
With Pumpkins at the Castle just around the corner, obviously she couldn't come out without getting into the pumpkin spirit!
👋 If you're at Sea Ilfracombe today, come and find us and say hello!

🩷 A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE VISITOR… 🦆
We had a rather lovely little adventurer exploring Watermouth Castle recently… meet Duck #20577! 🦆🏰
This little pink duck is part of CM Ducks, a wonderful adventure started by a girl whose mum has cancer. The ducks are travelling far and wide, having adventures around the world and leaving a little trail of joy wherever they go. 🩷
And now #20577 can officially add Watermouth Castle to the list!
We took our little visitor on a proper Watermouth adventure – exploring the Castle, discovering some of our weird and wonderful sights and, of course, stopping for plenty of photos along the way. 📸
Safe travels, little duck. We absolutely loved having you! 🩷🦆
