Further Information The Grotto at Marsden is a public house built into the cliffs. Originally Jack the Blaster lived in these caves but over time the public house was built.  This has been modernised several times since. The stairs on the right lead up to the top of the cliff. There is now a lift as well as a staircase to get people from the top of the cliff down to the public house.
