Grotto c.1760 by Dr. Sharpe. Tall circular chamber cut in sandstone cliff,
with twin domed niches above. Within chamber, walls of coursed roughly-
squared stone to rear (with chamfered pointed arch and two slits above) to
left (with similar unchamfered arch) and to right (with fireplace). A low

access to the water.
