Old stone walls and bluebells


I think that this particular dry stone wall could do with a wee bit of attention, but aren't the bluebells gorgeous! I particularly love the little pools of sunlight.

I couldn't resist adding a link to YouTube for this children's poem, The Old Dry Stone Wall by Ann Perrin. It's just the kind of thing which we imagine children would think when looking at a wall like this. Enjoy :)

I wonder what might live in this one!

  2. Came here from Pondside and delighted to see that you are local to me! I love dry stone walls too - one of things I love about living in the Peak District, but loved them equally on Dartmoor, Wales and other locations around the UK. Have had a go at it myself with reasonable success - have built a new little wall in my garden from stones left lying around the place, and have repaired several as well.

    I first learnt how to do them at Blaze Farm on the Buxton to Congleton road. And the National Stone Centre at Wirksworth also has a fabulous display of the different styles of drystone walling throughout the UK.
