Loved this place, small but serene and a little hidden gem. Been a couple of times and It is a shame it is not publicised more.

Fascinating grotto excavated years ago by John Scott - local poet. Read the inexpensive but interesting book by David Perman

Open seasonally Scott's Grotto is well worth a visit. The architecture of the grotto is amazing and is a hidden gem. Do wrap up warm as it can be quite chilly in the tunnels.

This is a wonderful Museum located in the heart of the county town of Hertford. It has a mixture of local exhibits relating to Hertford and its history, along with some world exhibits collected by the founders which are fascinating. The Museum is typically open Tuesday to Saturday and also on a Sunday from 12 to 4pm.

Very interesting and well worth going to see. This is such an unusual place and amazing to fond it in the small town of Ware.

Limited opening hours, you can't just turn up, so make sure before you go. Very interesting and unusual. Doesn't take too long to go around it. Dark and cool inside so wrap up warm and take a torch.

a very interesting and different afternoon, not the sort of thing you see everyday, the only problem is it's only open on a Saturday.

Scotts Grotto is a little piece of history that thankfully has been kept and restored. You can see the history on their website but I suggest you wait until you get there and have it told first hand by one of the very enthusiastic volunteers.
We visited with our teenage daughter and her friend both of whom loved exploring the tunnels and seeing the shells.
It will only take 30-45 minutes to see the whole area including the summer house. No charge but a suggested donation of £1 each which is very worth the money.
A lovely afternoon out.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived given the only entrance fee was a suggested £1 donation and it only being open Saturday afternoons, but this is certainly worth a visit if you are in the area.
Inside you'll find a warren of tunnels lined with shells and stones, Torches are provided but I'd recommend bringing your own too. It's a bit nippy too so wear a jacket.
It only takes 5 minutes or so to explore so it's not a day trip, but we did go round twice. It's definitely worth a look, although the location in the centre of a residential street means parking isn't easy. The guides/wardens were very friendly and knowledgeable.

My son loves Scotts Grotto! From the age of 3 (he is now 6) he has been visiting. The Grotto is a set of pitch black underground tunnels. What more does any child want!? A torch and a dark labyrinth of tunnels to run around in and make up fantasies and imagine adventures!
There is a voluntary donation for an entrance fee. So it's a very cheap hour of kids entertainment. We live very close to the Grotto. Not sure I would travel to Ware to only see the Grotto, however there are lots of other family activities in Ware you could chose to do afterwards.
