The Walls
The story so far
Our old stone walls are full of character, history and life, but they need a little love to keep them standing. Brambles and ivy are particularly fond of them, so regular care and maintenance are essential. We want to repair and restore our existing walls using traditional stone walling techniques, honouring the heritage and craftsmanship behind them. And with plenty of old stones scattered across the land, we'd love to put them to good use, building smaller walls, edging flower beds and creating new features that feel as though they've always belonged here.
