Have known about Scott’s Grotto for many years but limited public opening hours has precluded a visit until now when a free Satuday arose for us to visit Ware. This was the last chance to visit in the 2024 summer opening season.

Was not sure what to expect but the restored grotto with summer house above is very impressive and unusual. It is all that remains of Amwell House which was originally the home of Quaker poet, landscape gardener and writer John Scott and his parents. The rest of the site of the former Amwell House now consists of housing development but the grotto was saved from destruction and restored in 1991. It is largely unlit and visitors should bring a powerful torch as those available from the friendly volunteers on site are somewhat underwhelming!

Accesses within the site are quite precipitous with rough-hewn flint steps without handrails, retaine unaltered because of the “Listed” status of the Grotto. Not suitable for anyone with severe balance problems and best visited in dry weather.

Beautifully decorated and formed, with amazing hand-dug inter-connecting tunnels . Don't miss the beautiful Summer House above, with even more steps to negotiate carefully!

Very modest admission charges levied to visit a really unusual attraction and potential income opportunities from souvenirs etc have yet to be exploited.
