Description

A series of grottoes, niches, caves, and archways create a rustic landscape scattered with rocky outcrops, located in the shallow valley of a stream that flows into Chantry Pond. Built around 1830 for James Fussell, the grottoes are made of local limestone rubble. A notable feature is the fictive cliff that includes several niches overlooking the area. Pathways weave through various features and structures, with a ruined archway next to Chantry Pond. The setting is enhanced by surrounding yew trees.
