    • Charly Dove November 10, 2013 at 8:05 am

      They’re stalactites in a crystal grotto, it was incredible! There’s a post on the follies of Painshill Park on the blog with some more photos. Wonderful place 🙂

    Wow, where was that? A stalactite?! Looks great. x

    • Charly Dove November 10, 2013 at 8:31 am

      It’s a crystal grotto at Painshill Park in Surrey. Hundreds of thousands of crystals including calcite, gypsum, quartz and fluorite were used to re-create this folly. It’s full of stalactites 🙂

  • Luci - mother.wife.me November 10, 2013 at 8:51 am

    Stunning. I love caves and grottos like this. Where abouts is it? I only know of the caves at Castleton!

    • Charly Dove November 10, 2013 at 10:34 am

      Thank you. It’s at Painshill Park in Surrey. Think we’re back today – Daddy wants to see the follies 🙂

      Thank you Laura, it does look a little weird on it’s own!

  • oana79 November 10, 2013 at 11:21 am

    Oh beautiful stalactites, didn’t know you can find things like this in Surrey.

    • Charly Dove November 11, 2013 at 4:01 pm

      They’re wonderful aren’t they. It’s taken a while to restore the crystal grotto by the sounds of things – all crystals put in by hand 🙂

  • Jo @ 3 Kids and a Gluestick November 10, 2013 at 2:51 pm

    It’s making me want to go to Painshill now to see this! I am going to have to put a date on the calender to go very soon! Fab shot x

    • Charly Dove November 11, 2013 at 4:03 pm

      You definitely should Jo it’s fabulous. Do check the opening times of the crystal grotto before you go though. We went back yesterday to show Daddy and it was only open a couple of hours 🙂
