A dry stone walling walk takes place in Lyme, Buxton on 16 September 2026. Admission is required and the area is maintained by five groups of volunteer wallers who preserve around 18 miles of historic walls.
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.
