Beer Quarry Caves

Today, I'm visiting Beer Quarry Caves in Devon with some friends. I've been to several other caves and caverns in other parts of the world, as well as ones closer to home, but this is the first time I've visited 2000-year-old man-made caverns!

As you venture through the chalk limestone caves, the styles of the pillars tell you in which era the sections were quarried - Roman, Saxon and Norman all feature.

You can find Beer Stone in almost every church in East Devon, and it's also been used in Exeter, Winchester, St.Paul’s and Norwich Catholic Cathedrals, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.

Have you visited any caves? If not, would you like to? Which ones would you visit?
