European estates in the 18th and 19th century often had garden features known as "follies" (buildings with no purpose) or "grottos" (artificial caves"). Since our DIY tunnels at Sandland could fit these definitions, maybe it could be called a folly as well!

We checked out some follies and grottos in the gardens of Versailles in France recently. I also stuck in some stock photos of other examples, some of which resemble stuff we're doing at Sandland!

A few notable ones (including some open to the public) are:
