Beer Quarry Caves
Beer, Devon
Beer Quarry Caves has a 2,000 year history of quarrying stone using virtually unchanged methods from
Roman times until last century. Our guides will take you on an hour long tour through the awe-inspiring caves with their mighty halls of vaulted roofs and pillars of Beer stone which have been likened
to a vast underground cathedral. Listen to the amazing stories of the local quarrymen who worked 14 hours per day 200ft below ground in appalling conditions. Visit the small museum featuring a late medieval Beer stone church window, to marvel at the skill of the stonemasons and the basic tools
used by the quarrymen, who risked their lives to extract the stone from the underground workings.
