5 mins drive from Still Point, Beer Quarry Caves were formed during two thousand years of limestone quarrying, and material from the quarry was used to make some of England’s most venerated cathedrals. The caves are absolutely stunning and so atmospheric. In the summer months there are often theatrical performances inside the caves by candlelight.
