Dawn Davies reviewed: Two day dry stone walling course at Freshfields Animal Rescue Centre Nebo North Wales

"Fantastic course. In the 2 days we removed a section of wall that needed repair and rebuilt from the foundation up. Excellent instruction and worked at a steady pace. Some of the stones were very heavy but with the instructor’s muscle power we managed to get them in place. Felt great to admire all the work we had done . Great group of people on the course."

Dry Stone Walling Association North Wales Branch responded:

"Thanks for this Dawn. It was a very good section of wall and great working with nice people. I really enjoy these courses and meeting the people. Regards Paul "

Oliver reviewed: Two day dry stone walling course at Pensychnant, near Conwy North Wales

"Fantastic experience learning how to build a drystone wall with an experienced instructor. The wall we dismantled and rebuilt is part of a conservation centre, and is used to keep sheep in/out to ensure they graze sustainably. We learnt the ins and outs of dry stone walling, with a practical approach to learning, and plenty of opportunities to make and then learn from mistakes."
