Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th September 11am-4.30pm
The Grotto is the most intriguing feature at the industrial village. The entrance to the northern tunnel appears to be the gaping mouth of a monstrous face, maybe the entrance to the underworld! The largest grotto is some fifteen by five metres and now open to the sky, with a rectangular pool and a base of red and green slabs. A deep narrow rectangular pit may have been used as for a water wheel and a pumping engine.
Accessibility
Elm Walk is mostly wheelchair and pushchair accessible through Summer House Way (next to Warmley House). The Grotto is accessible over bumpy grass through the Chequered Walled Garden.
Car Parking
Parking is available below Warmley House, off Tower Road North. The slope between the gardens and the car park is steep, and there are steps on the far side of the turning circle.
