The Green Holiday Cottages, 67 Aughnahoory Road, Kilkeel, County Down, BT34 4ZG
Mourne Dry Stone Walling

About

Experience the beauty and hard graft behind the centuries-old craft of dry-stone wall building in Ireland.

See how Mark restored more than 400-metres of original dry-stone walls back to their mid-18th century glory with granite direct from the Mourne mountains.

Taking diversely shaped stones (from cap to key stones) in your hands, become part of a timeless tradition by physically building part of a stone-wall yourself.

Using traditional and modern methods you will appreciate the effort required to work with granite.

Learn the language associated with stone wall building through stories and poetry.

End with a Mourne builder's tea break including tea and a nutritious boiled fruit cake, served in a biscuit tin.
