Scott's Grotto

Pretty interesting place. The volunteers who run it really know the history and show passion in its telling. Bit of an odd thing to someone to build but worth a walk round if you're in the area. If you have claustrophobia, I wouldn't recommend as the tunnels are small and you only have a torch to guide you until you hit the larger rooms. There's also a summer house to look at. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk around it.

Small but intriguing, a cool and welcome respite on a hot day. Will entertain kids for 30 minutes. Cheap entry.

Very interesting and interactive little heritage place to visit.

A hidden gem. Highly recommend a visit to Scott’s Grotto. Don’t forget your torch. Easy to park nearby.

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.

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.

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

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.
