Scotts Grotto

Closed October to April, summer opening only due to hibernating bats. Reopens first Saturday in April.

Reviewed By M2041OLjohnr - Ware, United Kingdom

I highly recommend you visit this very historic grotto. It was built in the mid-eighteenth century at the then Amwell Manor which belonged to the Scott family. It is the largest shell grotto in the UK. Now in Scotts Road, houses we're built on the former Manor grounds in the 1960's. The grotto is a Grade 1 listed building and was refurbished in 1991 and opened by Lord Montague. It is now held by a Trust. Well worth a visit, check opening times on it's website. Enjoy.

St Mary the Virgin

Reviewed By 260myriamm - Fredericksburg, United States

This 850 yr old church is worth a visit, has beautiful architecture lots of history just an amazing building. The old cemetery to walk through is another history in itself. It’s like learning about village life through the inscriptions on the old graves. Very enjoyable

Jellicoe Water Gardens

Reviewed By Footprints823199 - Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom

Wander along the path way here and you could forget that you are in Hemel Hempstead. The planting has been beautifully undertaken and whenever I have taken this route it has always been clean and tidy. There are lots of seating areas too. There is a wooden childrens play area for families and plenty of plants and flowers for everyone to identify or to admire. It is also a lovely way to get from the main town into the Old Town and to Gadebridge Park

The Three Horseshoes

Reviewed By harpies - Harpenden, United Kingdom

Booked for 12 of us for sunday lunch. We were required to pre order starters and main courses. Stopped here towards end of fab 6/7 mile walking starting in Hemel and travelling via boxmoor/bovingdon/little hay golf course (might be wrong order!) Group had a few starters including mushrooms (delicous v peppery), pate and prawn skewer that looked amazing! Burgers, roasts, salads,scampi all good sized portions served very hot and all those eating had clear plates at the end..the ultimate recommendation. A few were able to enjoy after the chocolate cake ,treacle tart and what looked the best to me, the Apple crumble!!
