Beautiful little hidden gem in Ware. The buildings are stunning and the volunteers are so friendly and knowledgeable. I've learnt so much more than just about the grotto. Its taken me over 20 years to visit but I'm so glad I did. My 10 year old loved it and kept wanting to go around again. Would highly recommend.

An interesting site hiding in between houses on a side road. The volunteers are knowledgeable, and torches are provided for the walk in the grotto. If you are claustrophobic, then the walk inside the grotto is not advisable. Don't miss the summer house. Parking is limited to on the street only. Allow 1 hour for your visit.
