About

Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Academy

Yorkshire Dry Stone Walling Academy Ltd (YDSWA) provides a variety of Dry Stone Walling Training Courses (both outdoor and indoor) for all experience levels from trainees to professional wallers.

We also provide professional support for volunteer groups who are considering a Dry Stone Walling Project.

We are not for profit organisation setup to encourage training of new and improving dry stone wallers, while promoting the conservation of dry stone walls and working with volunteer groups to improve and maintain existing dry stone walls.

As well as providing gentle exercise in the great outdoors, Dry stone walling provides the ultimate example of recycling since if it becomes necessary to move or restore a wall, all the stones may be used again.
Our services include

A range of training courses from a 2 day introduction course to progressive Training and LANTRA Examination qualifications, to encourage professional wallers.

Mini walling courses for Childrens groups (Cubs, Scouts, etc) to produce 1:24 scale models of dry stone walls using kits (provided).

Support for Community Groups, Youth Groups and Charitable groups within Yorkshire and Derbyshire, who may have or be thinking about a dry stone walling project. This support includes

Guidance and Assistance in plannind the project.
Experienced Walling Resources to supplement Volunteer Projects and Community Projects where experience doesn’t exist within community
Support for potential professional wallers through contacts with local businesses, support groups and DSWA job opportunities
