Stone walls….
All along the roads in rural Wales you see beautiful stone walls, often extending as far as the eye can see. “A drystone wall does not use cement or mortar to hold the stones together . The stones are used just as they are found (or quarried) and not dressed (cut to size). Drystone walls created boundaries showing landownership and were also a means of controlling livestock.” The walls are still being built today, to decorate a dwelling or to mark a boundary. Each has the signature style of its builder. They are a part of the proud heritage of Wales and other countries in the British Isles.
