Full Description

A late 18th century grotto which is a long curved red brick barrel vaulted tunnel with a side chamber, which would originally perhaps have been lined with wood and stone to form a natural looking cavern. There are still wooden fixings for such a lining in the stonework. The entrances are clad in randomly coursed limestone rubble and the semicircular entrance arches are contrived to appear quite natural.
