This is the kind of project which we are asked to undertake! A challenge and a pleasure to deliver!

At the risk of cluttering the site, here's a project we did at the recording studios of Kate Rusby one of the worlds best singer/songwriter

Les appeared in Yorkshire Television's 'My Yorkshire' program during 2007 telling the story of the terrible Huskar Pit Disaster in Nabs Wood where he is currently rewalling the wood as a tribute to the 26 children who died in the tragedy. If you missed the program and would like to see it or wish to see it again click in the screen below.

Les also appeared on BBC's Escape to the Country where he gave the cast and crew a brief insight into Dry Stone Walling. Watch it below:

About Us

Wed, 20 Jun 2007 0:00:00 CDT

Hadrian's Dry Stone Walls build and repair dry stone walls - "validus et perpetuus" - strong and everlasting. We also build garden and special features using dry stone walling techniques. We will help you bring your walling or garden projects to reality delighting you with the result. We can provide details on request of customers to whom you may speak to confirm our quality and customer service.

Our wallers hold Lantra and teaching qualifications as well as having a broad range of other skills enabling us to deliver a top notch wall, course, lecture or special feature.

In the current economic crisis what's the best way of significantly increasing the value of your property? Yes, that's right, build a dry stone wall around your property or add a dry stone feature to your garden! Click on the video below to see some of our walling around a newly built house

Pricing for walling varies with location, height and style of wall required, and the lie of the land so we prefer to visit you, inspect the site and discuss your requirements before tendering a quotation.

We also provide customised training courses to individuals or to parties, be that private or corporate. Why not treat your employees to some team training in building a wall and teach them a new skill at the same time?! Please go to our Courses page for details.

We have written articles for such prestigious organisations as the BBC and Woodland Trust and our wallers have appeared on radio, TV and several newspapers and magazines demonstrating their skills and extolling their passion for dry stone walling.

We are ex-members of Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce.

To request further information please go to our Contact Us page to see how to get in touch with us.

On completion of your course, and after you have collected your certificate and polo shirt, you can also enrol to be a Hadrian's Dry Stone Waller, which is entirely free. We will be offering advice to our members and arranging walling weekends and events where you can continually improve on your skills but in a more relaxed way.

You will be given access to our 'Members' page where you will find useful walling and other information. We are currently working on introducing a members chat area where you will be able to share experiences, tips and general chit-chat with other Hadrian's Dry Stone Wallers.

In the members area you will find information about current jobs, vacancies and opportunities for dry stone wallers with ourselves and our fellow dry stone walling companies. These will be updated as we get to hear about them. Conversely, Hadrian's Dry Stone Wallers can place their CV in the members area if they're looking for work.
