"Absolutely fabulous!! Dry stone walling is something i have wanted to try for many years and Landmark Walling helped that happen in an amazing way. Both Carl and Sharon ensured that the experience exceeded all my expectations. The course was delivered in a practical manner but always ensuring it was fun. Could not have had a better group of people to share the experience."

"A most enjoyable time spent with my work colleagues. Built a beautiful section of Dry Stone Wall with the expertise guidance from Carl. All done in such a fun and relaxed manner. Sharon's delicious food kept us all fueled throughout the day. Plenty of liquid refreshment too !!!!!!! Highly recommend this Course. Leave the stress of the Office and your mobile phone behind you. Get outside in the beautiful Peak District...learn a new skill and surprise yourself. Thankyou both so much for an amazing experience ( except for that one annoying stone right at the end )!"

"Cannot recommend this course highly enough. Carl is a very personable tutor who made everyone relax. Sharon provided a most excellent lunch and was very friendly. It was interesting to see how people worked together and we were all very proud of the wall we built, which Carl assured us will still be there in a 100 years. It is an excellent team-building opportunity or simply a chance to do something different, and learn a new skill. The countryside around Diggle is beautiful and the weather was kind. Will recommend to friends and family."

"I completed this course at the weekend with my work colleagues as a team building experience. Carl and Sharon make a great duo, keeping us all laughing and fantastically well fed all day. It was so lovely to look at our finished wall knowing that it will be there for many many many years to come. I can’t recommend the course enough, it was very educational, Carl is an excellent teacher. Lots of fun in the most stunning countryside. Thank you both so much for this experience.xx"

"I completed this course with a group of colleagues and I cannot recommend highly enough. The farm in Diggle has the most breathtaking views, simply stunning. Carl kept us all laughing and having fun from start to finish and Sharon's lunch of delicious local cheese, homemade soup and pork pie was perfection. We all felt immensely proud of our wall and our little contribution to England. A truly worthwhile experience."

"Well worth travelling up from Bucks. A very well organised and presented course with Carl getting across a lot of information into the walling art in a manor which is easy going and friendly. Hats off to his ability to remember all the names in our group of eleven. Thoroughly enjoyable with great views, great weather and great people. Completed the repaired section of wall in easy stages over the two days and even managed to build in a stone to “hang your hat” ( group joke) 10/10 for the on course catering, beer at local pub and in my case a recommendation to get an evening meal at “The Navigation” where the Sunday roast even beat my appetite."

Darren and Sarah reviewed: Premium experience package dry stone walling for beginners

"Fantastic opportunity to learn such a skilled craft. Carl is a great tutor. We really enjoyed what turned out to be quite a mindful experience - being totally absorbed in rebuilding a dry-stone wall over two days amongst wonderful scenery and with wonderful people meant that all of the stresses of work and family were not given a second thought! The whole weekend is run very well - and Sharon's lovely home-made soups are welcome at lunchtime. In fact, all of the food, snacks and drinks are plentiful and tasty. And we do recommend blowing the froth off a couple with Carl and Sharon at the end of the day at the nearby Diggle Hotel - to reflect upon your achievements and to continue the team-building vibe! No hesitation in recommending this course! Go for it!"

"What a grand 2 days out! The team (Carl, Sharon & Ray) provided a brilliant introduction to drystone walling and a memorable experience. The knowledge and guidance provided by Carl & Ray has given me the confidence to go out and start repairing walls in my local area. I have already got a project lined up! The teaching methods and general approach made understanding the complexities of drystone walling easy to follow and put into practice. Great course and I would definitely recommend it!"

Simon Straker (and Sue) reviewed: Premium experience package dry stone walling for beginners

"Carl and Sharon were very accommodating in responding to our request for one waller and one spectator. Simon had a fabulous weekend of instruction and I enjoyed dipping in and out to alternately watch the progress and go for long walks in the beautiful countryside, pick up a few tips and enjoy Sharon's fabulous locally sourced lunch. A perfect arrangement for us. Simon gained a great deal of satisfaction from working with the rest of the team to dismantle a damaged section of wall and then to see the finished, rebuilt product on Sunday afternoon. It was a real sense of achievement and a big thanks to both Carl and Ray for their patient instruction."

"An excellent introduction to dry stone walling. Carl is a patient and helpful instructor, who gives clear and helpful advice with humour and purpose, explaining in simple terms the rationale behind the advice. The lunch was very good and filling."

"This was an excellent course. Carl patiently and professionally explained and demonstrated the various techniques of taking down a section of wall that was in disrepair, grading the stone, preparing the footings, selecting the stone and assembling a wall that will last a couple of hundred years. I found the whole experience fascinating. A 3D puzzle that was solved as a team. Sharon provided superb support making sure we were fed and watered. The food was excellent."
