The lakeside grotto was a grotto in Wales.
Laura Thorn went to the grotto to try and find a wizarding creature that had been attacking people, and an unknown artefact. She was attacked by a Grindylow when she was diving into the lake and was saved by a Merperson. She put Laura on the banks of the lake in the grotto, and she was later found by Mathilda Grimblehawk and her partner. The landlord of a nearby pub had been worried about her since her disappearance, and sent an angry group of people to find her at the grotto and attack the creature that hurt her.[1]
In order to stop the landlord, Grimblehawk and her partner stole the evidence that he had verifying a wizarding creature, and he was Obliviated to forget the grotto. They asked the Merpeople to help find the angry Grindylow in the lake, which they put in the grotto for them to find.[1]
