Come along and join us if you would like to try your hand at the traditional craft of dry stone walling. Working alongside experienced volunteers from our partner organisations EuCAN and the Dry Stone Walling Association, you can find out if this is the thing for you - but be warned it is a bit addictive!
We are on site from 10am until 3.30pm each day and all tools and protective equipment are provided - you should be aware that the location is quite remote and there are no facilities!
You can read more about another section of wall completed recently on the Ridgeway here: Dorset Echo - Mammoth dry stone walling effort - so if you want to join in and have a go, do get in touch.
There is no charge but places are limited and booking is essential.
