We are the Cumbrian Branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association.

From coast to fell, creating fields, marking boundaries, or enclosing cliffs and other terrain dangerous to farm animals, dry stone walls crisscross and define the Cumbrian landscape

The complex local geology means a wide variety of stone occurs across the Lake District, and this is reflected in the various styles of wall construction. Walls also protect and shelter a wide range of wildlife, from voles to frogs, toads, slow worms, lichen, mosses, and ferns. 

If you want to help keep the craft of dry stone walling alive, and help restore and preserve the Cumbrian landscape please join the Cumbria branch of the National Dry Stone Walling Association as an Open Member. This will support our activities, receive our newsletter and if you choose to complete the beginners course, come along to our monthly meets.
