Welcome to Colwall Stone

Colwall Stone is a unique geological formation located in the county of Herefordshire. It is a type of sandstone that is found in the Malvern Hills, a range of hills that runs through the county. The stone is known for its distinctive pink and red hues, which are caused by the presence of iron oxide in the rock. Colwall Stone has been used for centuries as a building material, and can be seen in many of the historic buildings in the area.

One of the most notable uses of Colwall Stone is in the construction of the nearby Eastnor Castle. This stunning castle was built in the 19th century and is one of the most impressive examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the country. The castle is constructed almost entirely from Colwall Stone, giving it a unique and striking appearance. The stone is also used in many of the other buildings in the area, including churches, houses, and public buildings.

Colwall Stone is not just a building material, however. It is also an important part of the local landscape and has been used for centuries in traditional farming practices. The stone is used to build dry stone walls, which are a common sight in the area. These walls are built without any mortar, using only the natural shape of the stones to hold them together. They are an important part of the local ecosystem, providing habitats for a wide range of plants and animals.

Severn Way
A Beautiful Walk Along The River Severn With Farm Land All Around. The Parking Is On The Narrow Lane In The Form Of Makeshift Lay-Bys, However There Is Rarely More Than 1 Or 2 Cars There. I Suggest Keeping Your Dog On A Lead Until You Get Through The Gate. Go Up The Track And Bear Left And Keep Walking! I've Walked About 4 Miles Before Turning Round And Heading Back, I'm Not Sure How Far It's Possible To Go, Many More Miles I Assume. There's Plenty Of Access To The River For Hot And Thirsty Dogs. It's Incredibly Quiet, I've Rarely Encountered More Than 1 Or 2 Other Walkers, With Lots Of Wildlife Such As Pheasants, Rabbits And Even A Hate Or 2. Severn Way Kempsey Worcester WR5 3LP 6.45 miles
