But what are dry stone walls? They are a practical form of boundary representing more than a conservation matter - they enhance the landscape and are part of our heritage. Although initially more costly, a dry stone wall will outlast a wire fence many times over and, given timely maintenance, will prove more economical in the long term. Dry stone walls are built without mortar or cement. This reduces cost and allows the wall to settle safely and to survive frosts. Dry stone walls appear stark and lifeless, but they provide a valuable habitat for plants, animals and insects in exposed areas. Many varieties of flowering plants, ferns, lichens and mosses find the ideal habitat. The sunny face of the wall is desert-like, but the shaded side favours moisture-loving plants. Insects and small animals live in the around walls - basking on the sunny side, living and breeding within the wall itself.
