Overview

Gwrhyd Pennant sandstone is quarried on the hills looking out over the Black mountains in to the heart of Wales. It is one of the most beautiful stone available in the UK and its natural colour variations enhance any setting. The stone is fashioned at the quarry to your individual requirements using both traditional and modern production techniques. Each stone is produced to the highest quality and environmental standards so you can be sure that you are using the very finest of building materials.

  • Howard Hancock

    "The Gwrhyd stone has a pleasing colour and is very high quality. The lintels and quoins were cut superbly and our specific order of thin and long cropped facing stone was carried out well"

  • Mark Goode

    “A Professional friendly service always prepared to go that extra mile.
    We are proud to be associated with Michael and his team!!”

  • Mrs Anne Jones

    “I would like to Thank Martyn and colleagues for the wonderful service and help we have received on three different occasions we have contacted you, relevant to different jobs.

    The semi coarse stone received looks beautiful, and the bespoke sills were to the millimeter.

    Brilliant to see that one can still have extremely good service.”

  • Long standing customer

    “To find good quality facing stone locally is a challenge and we have always been very happy with the stone Gwrhyd supply. Whether we visit the site to choose the stone – or have deliveries of Gabion (another difficult product to source locally) – we have always been satisfied with the products and the service Gwrhyd Specialist Stone Quarry provides.”
