Description:Beech caves are man-made caves close to the hamlet of Beech where sandstone was quarried for local use. The 1879 Ordnance Survey map shows the area as an 'Old Quarry', as by then it no longer used. In 1901 both a quarry and a cave are shown and by 1924 the site is listed only as 'Beech Caves' and the area had become woodland. During the 2nd World War the caves were used to store munitions.
