A COMMUNITY group will open two of Pontypool’s treasured historical buildings this month as part of a free event

Following a successful event in August, the Pontypool Park Friends will again open both the Shell Grotto and Folly Tower for the day, inviting families to enjoy a walk between the two sites.

The event, taking place between 11am – 2pm on Sunday, October 23, will give visitors the chance to admire views from the top of the Folly Tower, which is only occasionally open to the public.

The Grade II listed Shell grotto — a former hunting lodge with sea shell adorned interiors — will also be open on the day.
