Limestone Cobbles and Setts

Limestone setts and cobbles are a traditional paving choice, long valued for their exceptional strength, natural texture, and ability to create characterful outdoor spaces. Produced from solid natural stone, these small-format cobbles offer a timeless appearance rooted in historic paving methods, making them ideal for classic gardens, courtyards, and period-style landscapes across the UK. Their inherent durability ensures they can withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining their refined, organic aesthetic for decades.

The beauty of limestone setts and cobbles lies in their handcrafted nature. Typically hand-cut or split from larger blocks, each piece displays unique natural variations in shape, surface texture, and edge detail. This irregularity allows for visually softer layouts, gentle curves, and intricate traditional patterns—such as fan or herringbone designs—that machine-cut paving cannot replicate. Furthermore, the stone’s naturally textured surface provides reliable grip underfoot, making it a dependable, non-slip solution for the British climate.

Direct Quarry Sourcing and Quality Standards

At Paving Slabs Direct (PSD), we source our limestone setts and cobbles directly from partner quarries.
