   Underground quarry, worked since Roman times, which supplied Beer stone used in 24 cathedrals. Over 70 acres of underground workings where generations of local families earned their livings in appalling conditions by candlelight. One hour guided tours by trained guides, bring 2000 years of heritage vividly to life. See where contraband was hidden from the excise men during the smuggling days, where Catholics worshipped at a secret chapel in the reign of Henry VIII.Imagine yourself working here, and you will never see a cathedral whith the same eyes again.
