I've been meaning to visit this place for many years, and I finally managed it on Saturday. What a place!! Lined with flint & seashells made into various patterns. Tunnels leading off to round chambers dug underground. Apart from the last chamber, there is no lighting. However, the volunteers will lend you a torch. There is also a summer house with prints on the walls, showing what the area was like when the grotto was built. There are no toilets or cafes. Some of the footpaths are steep. Parking is on the residential streets outside. Open every Saturday & Bank Holidays, April to September. Admission £2.

We saw this online and thought we would check it out..
What a magical place this is! It doesn’t take very long to go around (10-15mins) but it really is worth it. If you are visiting Ware then do stop by.

What a little gem of a place. Run by lovely volunteers who really know their stuff and want to share their knowledge with you. Its a unique and fascinating little place to explore on a Saturday. The volunteer on the gate even gave us a first rate tea room recommendation that turned out to be spot on.

Alan was very informative, the grotto is truly something never seen and to think that it was built in the 1700s is remarkable. The shells do ad a certain sea side feeling to the grotto. It is truely magical.

Although technically the size of an average garden this place was amazing. Staffed by volunteers and open mainly at weekend it was a great place to visit. The grotto hewn out of limestone was brilliant and for a couple of quid we'll worth a visit.

One of Ware's hidden secrets, the children love going through the tunnels and looking at the shells.

Make sure you take a torch with you, although thry do have some spares

Wonderful place to visit and explore. The grotto is great and there are lots of wonderful shells and details to look at. Guides were very friendly and helpful.

Unfortunately the numerous families, shrieking children and teenagers who seemed to think the grotto was their personal adventure playground rather spoilt the atmosphere.

It's only £1 entry, but a bit of consideration for others costs nothing.

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
