Beer Quarry Caves

The quarry just outside the village was founded by the Ancient Romans between 47 and 50 CE. It remained in operation for nearly 2000 years, with almost all of it cut by hand – many walls still bear pick-axe marks. More recently, the caves featured as “Castle Grayskull” in the 2026 film Masters of the Universe. Tours see you donning a hard hat before being led into a cavernous maze of quarry tunnels for true stories of quarrymen and the harsh working conditions they faced.
