Post Wood is an ancient semi-natural woodland (ASNW) located on the south-eastern outskirts of Ware, and is adjoined by Presdales recreation ground. There is ample car parking for both sites accessed from Walnut Tree Walk, SG12 9PD; further access is available from Great Amwell along the Bridleway to the south-east of the site, and from the north via Post Wood Road for pedestrians.

Scott's Grotto is a series of interconnected chambers, extending some 67ft into the chalk hillside. It is rumoured to have cost £10,000 and is thought to have taken 30 years to complete. The chambers and tunnels are lined with shells, flints and pieces of coloured glass, some donated by friends. On top of the hill above the tunnels there is a summer house which would have commanded a wonderful view over the town of Ware. The picture below shows the inside of the Council Chamber as labelled on Mr R T Andrews's 1900 Plan of the Grotto. This chamber is the most highly decorated and has seats inset into its wall. One of these seats even has the word FROG written in shells, referring to his wife, Sarah Frogley. The grotto is open 1400-1630 on each Saturday and Bank Holiday Monday between April 1st and September 28th. There is no need to book, entrance is £1 which is used for the care and maintenance of this historic site.

The new facility centres around the 600m² splashpad water play area near the north car park and is surrounded by a nautical-themed adventure playground, featuring a large pirate ship and a variety of play equipment for toddlers, families and older kids, including swings for disabled children.
