How about this for a truly amazing room. This little cavern is the Shell Grotto in Pontypool Park, found high on the hills above the town. It was built in 1784 and then the interior was decorated with thousands of sea shells as well as bones & teeth from the deer that roamed the park, during the early nineteenth century. The views from the top of the hill of the highly industrialised valleys below must have changed out of all recoginition over the last 200 years.
It's opened most weekends throughout the summer - you'll love it. Oh, & by the way, when you look on Google maps for it don't be put off by Google's ikon for the site - a petrol pump! Shell Grotto not Garage oh Google goons.
