Scott's Grotto
Latest Reviews
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.

Sono rimasto abbastanza impressionato dalla mia visita a Scott's Grotto. Un posto magico incastonato all'interno della periferia di Ware ma a pochi passi dal centro storico. Bellissimi i muri interni tutti decorati da pietra pomice e conchiglie marine. Il personale volontario è stato gentile e disponibile subito all'ingresso a dare delucidazioni sul luogo. All'interno c'è molto fresco e i muri sono bagnati dalla condensa. Vengono messe a disposizione delle torce per camminare tra i vari tunnel che collegano le stanze. Il giardino e la Summer house sono anche interessanti. Peccato che durante gli anni le dimensioni del giardino si siano ridotte per costruire nuove case. Potrebbe essere valorizzato di più. Infatti attualmente viene aperto solo un giorno alla settimana da una società di volontariato. Il parcheggio è libero su strada.

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!

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.

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!

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 .

Live at Hoe Lane for 8 years but never been there until a niece came to visit us from Republc of Ireland. So we took her there. Yes, do bring touch and wear casual with comfy shoes. Only available on Summer time. Happy to pay £1 per person. Good for children or teenager but not recommend people on wheel chair. We had a great time.
