It's definitely for those who like exploring these sort of places. Great for an evening thing to do! I'm going to visit again soon!

I've lived in Ware for many years and decided with my partner to visit Scott's Grotto today. It was just a short walk for us.
We arrived early - it's nestled in between houses in a little dip.
A couple of lovely people turned up to let us in and were very knowledgable. It's a suggested £1 donation - it's worth this and more!!
We both were amazed at how pretty it is in there. The walls are lined with beautiful shells and Flint. You'll need a torch and to be aware most of it is in darkness and is quite closed in.
We found it interesting to listen about the history of it and already plan on going back with our families.
The best chamber is the last one which is lit up and you'll also get the chance to find something that has been hidden in the walls!
A most enjoyable visit.

Take some torches and a cover-up as it can be quite cold and dark in the tunnels. Run and maintained by lovely, friendly volunteers, this is such a unique little attraction which is striking and really quite beautiful. I took my niece and nephew (both usually much more interested in their phones and video games) and they adored exploring the grotto.

Lived in the area for about 27 years, not visited to now, but loved the place. The volunteers are excellent and knowledgeable, even leant us a torch. Great tunnels and is stunning. We will return!

This is a great visit if you are in the area, it won't take long as it literally is just a Grotto and summer house sealed off from the surrounding houses.
Take torches as it gets pretty dark and cold the further in you explore. You will be given a small yet informative speech from one of their volunteers so I won't fill you in on it's history.
From there on it's into the tunnels and chambers encrusted and decorated with sea shells from all over the world. It's not a big Grotto so it won't take long to explore but our children went round three times enjoying the twists and turns. There is a summer house above the Grotto with once again another friendly volunteer armed with more information.
The Grotto is technically free to enter but there is an honesty box suggesting £1 per adult..... Pennies really for an hour of fun.

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.

In March 2023, chantalgeall said about Hertford Museum
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.
