This vast man-made complex of underground caverns was created by centuries of quarrying the famous Beer Stone. The underground quarry, first worked by the Romans, supplied stone for 24 cathedrals including Exeter and St.Paul's, parts of Westminster Abbey and Windsor Castle.
Quarried by hand, a small block weighing 4 tons, the stone was carted on horse-drawn wagons and by barges from Beer beach to its destination, sometimes involving journeys of several hundreds of miles.
The quarry closed around 1920.
Beer Quarry Caves is internationally important as a bat hibernaculum. Greater and Lesser Horseshoe bats, along with a few other types use the caves to hibernate in the winter. During hibernation they often wake up and move in their search for suitable temperatures. Greater horseshoe male bats often hibernate in clusters, but females and all lesser horseshoes tend to be more solitary.
