Description
The Grotto east of Calke Abbey is a structure built between 1809 and 1810 by Samuel Browne. It is made of red brick faced in tufa and rubble sandstone. The grotto is a half-domed design that is set into a hollow, featuring remnants of stalagmites and stalactites. In front of the grotto, there is a semi-circular enclosure made of boulders and rubblestone. A curved path leads down into the grotto, which includes two rustic arches constructed from rubblestone.
