Cobblestone

Cobble stones are rounded and irregular stones between 64mm and 256mm in size. They can be categorised as small and large according to their size. They are used for traditional paving techniques and are known by different names in different countries; for example, they are also known as beach cobbles, river cobbles or field stones.

These stones are generally found in circular or rectangular shapes. Primarily derived from river beds, beaches, drumlins or boulder clay deposits, cobbles are plentiful and well-distributed throughout the land.

Stone cobbles are sometimes used as paving deterrent. It refers to pavements constructed in such a way as to impede or discourage foot or vehicular traffic.

Cobble stones can be of marble, granite limestone or slate. Cobblestone pavements have a rustic appeal. They are durable, affordable and hard surfaced.
