Pontypool’s
Shell Grotto will be open for visitors to explore on Easter Monday (2
April) between 11am - 3pm.
The grotto, which dates back to the early 1800s,
is adorned with shells and the bones and teeth of animals, creating intricate
designs and patterns.
It can only be accessed on foot and involves a
steep climb over uneven ground, so may be unsuitable for those with significant
mobility issues, wheelchair users and for children in pushchairs.
The grotto will also be open on the following bank holidays from 11am – 3pm:
Monday 7 May
Monday 28 May
The
grotto and folly will both be open on the Monday 27 August bank holiday.
The grotto is maintained and open to the public by volunteers from the
Pontypool Park Friends. For information on the work of the friends group visit

Bydd Groto Cregyn Pont-y-pŵl ar agor i
ymwelwyr ar ddydd Llun y Pasg (2 Ebrill) rhwng 11am - 3pm.
Mae’r groto, sy’n dyddio’n ôl i’r 1800au cynnar,
wedi ei addurno gyda chregyn ac esgyrn a dannedd anifeiliaid, gan greu patrymau
a dyluniadau astrus.
Gellir ond mynd yno ar droed ac mae’n golygu
dringo darn serth ar dir anwastad, felly gall fod yn anaddas i bobl gyda
phroblemau symud arwyddocaol, rhai sy’n defnyddio cadeiriau olwyn a phlant mewn
cadeiriau gwthio.
Bydd y groto hefyd ar agor ar y gwyliau banc canlynol o 11am i 3pm:
Dydd Llun 7 Mai
Dydd Llun 28 mai
Bydd y groto a’r ffoledd ar agor ar ŵyl banc dydd Llun 27
Awst.
Caiff y groto ei gynnal a’i agor i’r cyhoedd gan wirfoddolwyr o Gyfeillion Parc
Pont-y-pŵl. I gael gwybodaeth ar waith y grŵp cyfeillion, ewch i’w tudalen
