About
Choose from two sensational course venues - one in the heart of Oxfordshire, and one in the heart of the stunning Lowther Castle Estate near Penrith in Cumbria - take a sneak preview here. All courses are available at both venues.
At The Dry Stone Academy we love to help people from all walks of life to engage at some level with the age old art of Dry Stone Walling. There is something very special about being in the outdoors working with a natural material to create something beautiful and useful. The benefits are there for everyone to experience, be that for a single morning or for a lifetime.
Whether you just have a passing interest or you want to build a completely new career as a dry stone waller, and all the other options in between - we have a course for you - and if you want to be a professional, we have a qualification for you too. We can even help you on the road to a successful career after gaining your qualification.
We are only interested in high quality. Whether that's the quality of the training venue, the quality of the course instructors, the quality of the walls we teach you to build, or the quality of the examinations we design - you'll experience quality throughout - as standard.
Join us - and you'll soon be bitten by the stone bug just like us!
