Are you searching for that special present for Christmas? Rather than another pair of socks, a bottle of perfume or a book why not buy a voucher for a country course?
A one or two day dry stone walling course might be the perfect answer for that unusual present. Based at Ty Gwyn Farm, Llandrindod Wells in Mid Wales, the dry stone walling course is informative as well as practical and led by Stuart Fry, a professional dry stone waller.
Participants will not only learn the basics of building a dry stone wall but will also learn about the history of how and when they were built. Dry stone walls epitomise man's influence on the landscape and these fascinating short courses with enthral anyone who has an interest in the countryside.
Designed to be fun as well as informative, the course includes lunch and afternoon tea. “Stuart has a wealth of knowledge and experience but imparts it in an easy to understand style and there are always amusing anecdotes to accompany his courses,” said Margot Porter, of Ty Gwyn Farm.
Vouchers can also be purchased for gundog training weekends and walking through history days. For more details; www.tygwynfarm.co.uk, or contact Margot Porter on 01597 822665 or margot@tygwynfarm.co.uk
