You must pay Stoneywell a visit! It's an original and quirky cottage nestling in a beautiful woodland setting, that is so imaginative and peaceful, that you wish you could live there for ever. Oh yes, and they've even got some railway sleeper benches hidden in the forest!

A perfect place to unwind. Ancient railway sleeper gate posts are an invitation to be leaned on as you pause for a moment to take stock of life, as you look out over the splendours of unspoilt rolling countryside, and simply breathe. Priceless.

Clearly Ola Aina and the Nottingham Forest players are feeling on top of the world as they walk out on the training ground. Probably because they've qualified to play in Europe next year after a fabulous season. Or maybe because they've spotted some amazing railway sleeper raised beds! Hmmm...

It's an understandable question. What can you do with a one ton railway sleeper that's 8.5m long? It requires a bit of creative imagination. Maybe you could use it to build a bridge over rapids, or an exciting open plan house extension, or support a daring elevated platform that leans out from a cliff edge. Maybe a tree top walkway, or a medieval trebuchet to hurl large boulders at pesky neighbours. It's a unique piece of timber and it requires an amazing project!

Brilliant to see the photos of you creating raised beds, as you pre-drill and bolt together the new oak railway sleepers. A wonderful start to transforming the 'blank canvas' space in your new home into an exciting garden.

A brilliant alternative to thin, softwood decking, that is full of character. These hefty hardwood railway sleepers will last for decades and provide a perfect entrance to a building, or patio space. Sturdy, durable and strong enough to support the weight of a visiting elephant or sociable hippopotamus.
