Dry Stone Walling Walk
An expert walking tour led by the Cheshire branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association.
Did you know Lyme has around 18 miles of dry stone walls? We have 5 groups of walling volunteers who lovingly build, maintain and look after these important features all year long.
Your tour will begin with a brief history of Lyme and its dry stone walls.
The walk will begin, showing the basics of how a wall is constructed and some of the tools used. We'll show you how our stone is sourced and shaped into usable stone.
We'll then take you on a tour showcasing some of our more impressive walling features and structures, such as our wall ends and walling onto a hill.
Duration: Roughly 1 - 1.5hrs, distance just over a mile.
Please note:
- Standard admission charges apply to non-members on arrival.
- Meet at the Information Kiosk in the main car park.
- The walk does consist of some uneven terrain; therefore sturdy footwear is recommended and dress appropriately for changing weather.
- Not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies.
- The walk route is mostly established footpaths or roads. There is a section with uneven terrain.
- Not suitable for children. Age 16+
- Dogs welcome on leads
