Description
The Grotto at Bretton Hall is a structure dating from around 1780, built from rough dressed stone. It has an irregular circular shape featuring a central roughly pointed archway and flanking roughly arched windows. Inside, remnants of a rough stone vault can be seen, along with shell-work decoration that culminates in a central pendant. This grotto is a significant feature within the landscape garden that surrounds Bretton Hall, which was created for the Wentworth family.
