I think the screech owl sanctuary is a part of gnome world. Personally, I would love to have fish and chips served to me by a recovering screech owl in a shelter run by gnomes.

I was hoping for a gnome wonderland but it's just a campsite with garden gnomes :(

You could get a fun park in on the same day though.

I've found Cornwall to be bad for this. We were on holiday last year in Cornwall and it was pissing it down with rain so wanted to take the kids somewhere indoors. We'd seen the brown signs (in the UK, brown signs indicate a place of interest) for some "jungle barn" or something, thinking it was going to be an awesome place, but it turned out to be a normal run of the mill hellish soft play centre.

That Springfield Fun Park is actually quite decent for young kids though.

That is disappointing. I've decided to believe that the garden gnomes come to life when nobody is looking at them and freeze when somebody sees them.

I think you’re confusing Garden Gnomes with Weeping Angels 😯

Perhaps that phenomenon is not unique to Weeping Angels and is common among a larger taxonomic group/clade of anthropomorphic, seemingly inanimate, beings. Further research is needed, and evidence is scant. Is it because it's a silly theory, or is it because researchers keep disappearing?
