This underground quarry first worked by the Romans,supplied stone for 24 cathedrals including Exeter and St.Pauls, parts of Westminster Abbey,the Tower of London, Hampton Court and Windsor Castle. The entrance leads directly into the Roman section, which now houses a small museum containing pieces of Beer stone carved centuries ago by skilled masons, the tools used by the Quarrymen, copies of ancient documents and photographs. The sheer grandeur of the mighty halls, vaulted roofs and massive supporting pillars of natural stone are awe- inspiring and have often been likened to a vast underground cathedral.
