Below is a list of shell houses and grottoes within the city of Bristol.
The industrialist William Champion built the house (now a care home) and garden between 1740 - 68.
In 1737 Thomas Goldney III continued to landscape the garden that he had inherited from his father by adding a range of eye-catchers that included statues, a Bastion, Rotunda and a subterranean grotto that took over 20 years to complete.
