The bestie and I visited Beer Quarry Caves as part of our
jaunt to the south coast for the first part of the #geobritainroadtrip. I saw
this place online by chance, and knew I had to go, and I fully recommend it to
EVERYONE. It was SO GOOD! There aren’t actually words to describe how much I enjoyed
it and how good it was, it was really interesting, the history of the site and
the presence of greater horseshoe bats who use it as roost – it really is worth
a trip and a visit. Also if you forget your jumper you can borrow a wonderful
fleece poncho (see pic).
The Beer Quarry Caves are in Beer, near to Seaton, on the
Jurassic Coast. They are a man-made cave network, and have been extensively
quarried since the Roman times, and different areas of the caves show different
extraction techniques, favoured by the relevant time period and methods. It truly
is a walk through time, and at the end of the tour there are some SPECTACULAR
slickenlines. I kissed them, they were that good.
Honestly I can’t endorse, recommend, suggest, promote,
advertise or rave about this place enough. Kelly and I were lucky to be the
only two people on the tour, the tour guide was wonderful and so knowledgeable,
and it really was a great few hours.
