Welcome to the Dry Stone Way
The Dry Stone Way is a unique dry stone trail, comprising six impressive installations around the town of Wellington, NSW.
Stone of Arc commenced construction of the trail in 2020, with the aim of highlighting local places and stories, through the ancient art of dry stone. Additional features were built over the ensuing years and the Dry Stone Way was officially opened in March 2025.

Wellington as part of a dry stone trail, and it quickly became a popular attraction, regarded with great fondness by locals.
