Many of us marvel at the intricacy of stonemasons' work on numerous stately buildings, cathedrals and churches. But do we ever stop to consider where the stone came from and the history of the excavation behind it?

Conducted Underground Tours
Our guides will take you on an hour long tour through the awe-inspiring caves with their mighty halls of vaulted roofs and pillars of Beer Stone which have been likened to a vast underground cathedral.
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,the Tower of London, Hampton Court 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 as a new quarry opposite was opened. This closed in 2003, so there is no quarrying activity now.
Your Journey through Time
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. A late medieval Beer stone window forms the centrepiece of the museum. From this very chamber the Romans quarried the first blocks of Beer Stone to build their villas, leaving typical Roman arches and even their tool-marks are still visible on the walls. On through the Saxon part of the workings to where the Normans quarried stone for cathedrals, castles and Manor houses. You will then get to the modern era, where saws replaced pickaxe's as the main cutting out tool.
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. As you pass through you will be shown the charcoal signatures of the quarrymen who toiled here years ago and places where bats - mostly greater or lesser horseshoe hibernate during the winter months.

Started filming at 0545 , light breeze , fairly quiet around , except for a few fishermen
at the mouth of the river Axe. I parked at the local Tesco and walked down to the harbour and beach to film. The noise from the seagulls was deafening as I walked down the road. I didn't stay as long as I had hoped as the rain came in all of a sudden and I had to stop filming.
Filmed with a DJI Phantom Quadcopter , GoPro Hero3 Black camera and a cheap no brandname brushless gimbal.
Filmed at 1080p , 60fps.

Newton Abbot to Exeter by South Devon Railway
This video shows most of the journey between Newton Abbot and Exeter by train. This is the famous piece of line constructed by Brunel and which runs along coast next to the sea. We start in the Teign Estuary, and then pass through Teignmouth, Dawlish and Dawlish Warren stations along the coast. We then go along the Exe Estuary through Starcross station until we move inland to approach Exeter. This is most of the journey, a few tunnels have been edited out. Apologies for the occasional seat back reflection. The line was opened in 1846 as an atmospheric railway and you can find more details at
