Event information
Discover a hidden gem of Dartmoor’s industrial past with an exclusive guided tour of Hurdwick Quarry, just outside Tavistock.
Rarely open to the public, this evocative site once provided the distinctive Hurdwick Stone that helped shape the town’s finest buildings. Explore the quarry floor, uncover the geology and working methods of historic stonecutters, and gain insight into the lives of those who laboured here.
With privileged access and expert interpretation, this unique tour reveals the architectural legacy and human stories embedded in the rock. Numbers are strictly limited to preserve the site—booking essential for this unforgettable journey into Tavistock’s bedrock.
