Scott's Grotto
Latest Reviews
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

Brilliant fun and kids love it, highly recommended for school holidays if you're stuck for something to do with the kids.

Very interesting place to visit. One of Ware's hidden gems. The children loved exploring the tunnels and found the shells fascinating. Would definitely go again.

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.

Scott’s Grotto is a hidden little Gem in the twin of Ware. The story behind its construction is fascinating..,. This place used to be unlit when I was a child visiting , however now there is lighting in the reception area and you still need a torch when venturing in to the tunnels. The place kept my 6 year old son entertained for hours... although it large in size you can spend between an hour and two in here and in the grounds.

What a wonderful place this is! It's small, but for a grotto it's a good size. It takes about 15 minutes to walk round, but make sure you sit down whilst inside and appreciate the history and work gone into this gem. A wonderful place!

I took my two grandsons to the Grotto one afternoon. It is located in a small wood between houses. There are volunteers available to explain the history of the Grotto. The boys particularly liked wandering the underground passages with torches. I don't think they had any interest in the history they just enjoyed the adventure. This place would be of interest for anyone keen on local history, quirky places or ideas for garden ceramics. Ideal if you wish to pass 30 mins or so in tranquility.

I found this hidden gem after checking out Tripadvisor whilst pet-sitting in Ware. Absolutely incredible grotto. I was amazed by all the shells and stones which were incorporated into the design of the tunnels. There's some seats built into the chamber walls. I went round twice because I was so fascinated.
The two volunteers were very helpful and I learned about the history of this place.
The summerhouse is delightful and pictures on the wall show how it looked way before the housing estate was built! There would have been a beautiful view of Ware. Be sure to take a torch and £1 for the donation box. There's also history guides on sale if you wish to purchase them. Scotts Grotto is open on Saturday afternoons and Bank Holidays. Allow at least half an hour to look around.

Went here a few times as a kid and was by far one of the most memorable school trips from junior school!

There have been a few attempts to demolish this interesting folly but thanks to some determined locals it has been renovated and protected for the future! Well worth a visit!

Scott's Grotto is a wonderful hidden gem in Ware. It is definitely worth a visit if you live in or are visiting Ware.
Make sure to check the opening dates has times before you go as these are limited - Certainly worth a visit though.
