Interesting novelty of a building. Absolutely lovely volunteers. At some point it felt a bit like a D&D setting. Doesn't take long to see the whole thing. Not recommended if you're claustrophobic.

Wonderful little gem tucked away up a hill in Ware. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers on hand to help and share their expertise. Only open in summer and on weekends, but definitely worth the visit. Very cheap entry fee :))

An amazing little Gem in Ware; historical, unique, pretty and interesting for all ages! Take a sound pair of shoes as the ground can be a little uneven. Take a torch too!

Fantastic little grotto dating from Circa1760. 99% still original, some nice Chambers in the cave with decorative shells. Gardens nice with a little summer house. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. All for £2 each. We'll worth it to help keep history alive.

A remarkable curiosity and a powerful reminder of what this part of England was once like before it was swallowed up by suburbia. The grotto itself is small and doesn’t take long to tour, but you might find yourself taking more time to hear expert commentary from the very knowledgeable and approachable guides, who I understand are volunteers. The gardens above are not exactly magnificent (and are nowadays flanked by rather unprepossessing houses), but they are quiet and pleasant, and contain both a roundhouse with paintings of the area in Scott’s time, and the remains of an old tree that he once cherished. An unusual and memorable experience to visit here.

I've been meaning to visit this place for many years, and I finally managed it on Saturday. What a place!! Lined with flint & seashells made into various patterns. Tunnels leading off to round chambers dug underground. Apart from the last chamber, there is no lighting. However, the volunteers will lend you a torch. There is also a summer house with prints on the walls, showing what the area was like when the grotto was built. There are no toilets or cafes. Some of the footpaths are steep. Parking is on the residential streets outside. Open every Saturday & Bank Holidays, April to September. Admission £2.

We saw this online and thought we would check it out..
What a magical place this is! It doesn’t take very long to go around (10-15mins) but it really is worth it. If you are visiting Ware then do stop by.

Alan was very informative, the grotto is truly something never seen and to think that it was built in the 1700s is remarkable. The shells do ad a certain sea side feeling to the grotto. It is truely magical.

What a little gem of a place. Run by lovely volunteers who really know their stuff and want to share their knowledge with you. Its a unique and fascinating little place to explore on a Saturday. The volunteer on the gate even gave us a first rate tea room recommendation that turned out to be spot on.

Although technically the size of an average garden this place was amazing. Staffed by volunteers and open mainly at weekend it was a great place to visit. The grotto hewn out of limestone was brilliant and for a couple of quid we'll worth a visit.

One of Ware's hidden secrets, the children love going through the tunnels and looking at the shells.
Make sure you take a torch with you, although thry do have some spares
