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

Wonderful place to visit and explore. The grotto is great and there are lots of wonderful shells and details to look at. Guides were very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately the numerous families, shrieking children and teenagers who seemed to think the grotto was their personal adventure playground rather spoilt the atmosphere.

It's only £1 entry, but a bit of consideration for others costs nothing.

Little hidden gem.
Only there 30mins as not that larger space. But what is there is well I’m not sure how to describe?
Bit spooky in places (given torch to walk round with) turned torch off…… dark. And I mean blackness. Just very strange but pretty at same time. Where do you get that many shells?

The staff friendly (even when rain was coming down on them) and so helpful.

Thank you

I highly recommend you visit this very historic grotto.
It was built in the mid-eighteenth century at the then Amwell Manor which belonged to the Scott family.
It is the largest shell grotto in the UK.
Now in Scotts Road, houses we're built on the former Manor grounds in the 1960's.
The grotto is a Grade 1 listed building and was refurbished in 1991 and opened by Lord Montague.
It is now held by a Trust.
Well worth a visit, check opening times on it's website. Enjoy.

How secluded it is, the history and how long and difficult it must have to build.
