Description: Duvale Quarry is located to the south of Bampton and to the west of the River Batherm. The road Duvale Quarry is adjacent to is a section of the Western Way, and ancient route. It is also part of the Exe Valley Way, a regional long distance walking route. Quarrying was an important element of the economy of Bampton, particularly in the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Local stone, a pinkish grey colour, has been used in many of the buildings of Bampton, including the Church and bridges, and lime was produced in the local lime kilns to create mortar. Quarrying around Bampton is thought to have begun during Roman times.
