A superb place to explore and can be found directly on Beechdale Lane.

It was originally a pillar and stall sandstone quarry dating from around 1663 when there are references stating the stone was transported to Trentham Hall.

It is shown on the first and subsequent Ordnance Survey maps of the area and by 1924 had become known as Beech Caves.

During WW2 the caves were used by the Home Guard to store munitions though some reports of this claim it was for storage of munitions from Swynnerton.
