Derbyshire: Learn to build dry stone walls

The level one training course starts on August 18 and is aimed at anyone wanting to take it up as a profession or want to repair their own walls.

It is a nationally recognised qualification awarded by the Dry Stone Walling Association and Lantra Awards and is delivered by master craftsmen who are all working wallers.
