What is recorded here
Wardour: the grotto at Old Wardour Castle is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
The grotto at Old Wardour Castle is a man-made cavern, likely formed in the 17th century as part of the castle's garden features, carved into the underlying limestone. It is associated with the historic Wardour Castle estate and may have been used for ornamental or ceremonial purposes during the Stuart period.
