The Cumbria Dry Stone Walling Association were demonstrating their skills at the Westmoreland Show.
Instead of hedges some of the fields in Cumbria, Lancashire & Yorkshire are separated by this method of building walls.
Each piece of stone is fitted into place without any mortar but is as firm as a rock when finished....a very skilled art.
As you can imagine the sight of these stone walls in lines across the stunning countryside is very traditional.
I just love dry stone walls.must be the Scottish blood!! Such an art, we watched a few competitions on 'Country File' earlier this year.....love that program!! Sunday early evening before the Antiques Roadshow!! Lovely 'action' shot Pat!!
I love dry stone walls and would love to have seen the demonstration. The people that do this work are very clever. It is good to ss the tradition is being kept up. Great shot.!
