Nothing special

A hidden gem- check opening times as it's run by volunteers, but it's well with a visit to see the intricate decorations and impressive amounts of work that went into it.

Interesting place

Really sweet and interesting. A quirky series of underground chambers whose walls are decorated with shells and flints. A torch is absolutely necessary. The grotto is set in the lower part of a small, steep sided wooded garden. An octagonal summer house sits in the top part of the garden .Although, initially, it took me less than ten minutes to go round, the children had great fun playing hide-and-seek and we were there for more than half-an-hour in the end. The parking is a little bit limited and, since it is in a residential area, there is nothing much else around but certainly worth a wee visit.

I was quite impressed with my visit to Scott's Grotto. A magical place nestled within the outskirts of Ware but a short walk from the historic centre. The internal walls are beautiful, all decorated with pumice stone and sea shells. The volunteer staff were friendly and available immediately upon entry to provide clarification on the place. It is very cool inside and the walls are wet with condensation. Flashlights are made available to walk through the various tunnels that connect the rooms. The garden and the summer house are also interesting. It's a shame that over the years the size of the garden has been reduced to build new houses. It could be valued more. In fact, it is currently only opened one day a week by a voluntary company. Parking is free on the street.

This is a hidden gem. A truly magical place that could really make you believe in fairies. Enchanting ❤

Pretty interesting place. The volunteers who run it really know the history and show passion in its telling. Bit of an odd thing to someone to build but worth a walk round if you're in the area. If you have claustrophobia, I wouldn't recommend as the tunnels are small and you only have a torch to guide you until you hit the larger rooms. There's also a summer house to look at. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk around it.

Such a hidden gem. Small kids will delight in the tunnels. A phone will work as a torch

Small but intriguing, a cool and welcome respite on a hot day. Will entertain kids for 30 minutes. Cheap entry.

What a super place!
Was on a trip to Hertford when this popped up as a place of interest and we dropped in. What a super surprise in the middle of a housing area. Wonderful volunteer staff too who were fonts of information about not only the grotto but the area too. We loved our little journey into this forgotton subterranium gem. It's not big, and it's not flashy, but it is interesting and unique and at £1 donation to enter, one of the cheapest places of interest I have ever been to. Simply loved it!

If it had not been for trip advisor I would not have known about Scott's Grotto.
It's signposted from outside the college on the road between Amwell and Hertford.
The Grotto is only open on Saturday and bank Holiday Monday afternoons so parking is not a problem as you can park on the streets in the surrounding area however I would imagine during the week you would struggle to find a parking space.
There are stewards in the grotto and summer house who are available to answer any questions.
I would definitley recommend you bring a torch although the stewards do have torches if you don't have one.
The grotto is separated into different rooms and all are decorated with sea shells, pieces of flint and other rocks.
It's a very magical place and would recommend it to anyone who loves something a little different!

Great little place. Buried 60 ft into a hillside this place is lovely to see. It’s Avery beautiful place and the volunteers are very enthusiastic and helpful. Well worth a visit! *****

Visited with 7 year old daughter on bank holiday Monday . Fascinating little place which I never knew existed despite living only a few miles away . Tucked away between houses , you can't even see it from the road , but well worth the visit if you get chance . Only takes about 15 minutes to get round the caves , but you can go round several times , and visit the summer house up above .
Highly recommended if you are in Ware on a Saturday afternoon or bank holiday .
