Hello. I've been carving stone for 16 years and fetch it from a supplier. He doesn't keep Horton or Hopton. Can you get it direct from the quarries? I'm new to the site. Thrilling! I once looked around for Blue Portland and now I see all these other amazing quarries.

Dependant upon what type of stone you use, these guys have some excellent limestone.

Plus you can arrange a visit to the mine at certain times, via Mathew .

The management thanks you for your co operation.

Likewise Elm Park-also in the Bath area, and they've just started to do smaller ornamental blocks as well as large building stone...or at least they had when I visited October last year
