The courses are held in the Craven area of the Yorkshire Dales. Groups are kept small [max. 12] and you will be instructed by a certified Master Craftsman, professional waller and ex-farmer, Stephen Harrison. All the walls you repair are part of working farms and are a vital part of countryside management.
