Built over 250 years ago by John Scott in his garden, the grotto has some mystery surrounding it even today as no-one really knows the reason it was built.
What is known about the grotto, is that it was (and still is) a magical place to visit, in fact Dr. Johnson, a friend of John Scott called it 'A Fairy Hall'. It was also a popular place to visit by other people who wrote in John Scott's visitors book.
It is made up of a series of rooms and tunnels which cover an area of 20 meters with the deepest chamber 10 meters down.
Open on: Saturdays and Bank Holiday Mondays. 2.00pm to 4.30pm between 1st April and 30th September.
