Summary
 Drystone walls, built of stone and air, are an integral part of the British landscape. These expertly crafted structures are widely admired, yet often overlooked. But who made them, how have they endured over hundreds of years, and why are they so deeply tied to our cultural heritage?

Inspired by a well-loved wall from her Scottish childhood, writer Laura Parker goes in search of answers as she travels across the British Isles along these historic boundaries. From neolithic tombs to modern Cotswold garden walls, Laura discovers the fascinating stories of these walls, and encounters the people deeply connected to them - Welsh wallers, Yorkshire farmers, Lake poets, and the Mourne Mountains' men of granite.

Stone on Stone is a luminous journey into our rural past, and a rediscovery of what these walls mean to us today.
