OUR POPULAR HEAVY TUMBLED AVIGNON LIMESTONE NOW AVAILABLE IN A DEDICATED 30mm OUTDOOR FLAG!
Blessed with rolling hills and picturesque villages, the Cotswolds is emblematic of England’s green & pleasant lands. It is also home to some beautiful limestone, stones that play a big part in the areas appeal. The local stone comes with a price tag though & can be exorbitantly priced – especially for calibrated flagstones of large sizes. This and other rationale motivated us to find a selection of better, more affordable stones, that match the local stone in colour, beauty and appearance whilst outperforming them in terms of durability, toughness and cost. Enter Avignon limestone, our first Cotswold look flagstone and still our best-selling one. Avignon Heavy tumbled limestone has been a core of our indoor flagstone flooring range for nearly 20 years and now we can offer a stunning 3cm thick outdoor version, finished to perfectly complement its internal counterpart.
If your outdoor scheme or landscaping project demands a gorgeous pale cream coloured stone with elements of fawn, buff & morel, then Avignon Heavy tumbled external limestone just must be on your short-list. Compared to its sister stone Castile, Avignon has larger mineral, quartz and fossil details which combine with the pale stone colour to create a creamier, more Bath Stone coloured flag in contrast to the hotter tones often seen in the Castile.
Each flag in our Avignon Heavy outdoor limestone is heavily tumbled or aged, creating an authentic time-worn edge and textured surface, very traditional in character. The mixed lengths in this stone run from 70cm through to 100cm in 10cm increments, creating a classic pattern, the scale of which won’t be lost in outdoor schemes and landscaping projects.
Also available are our Avignon outdoor finish treads (steps) – also popular as coping stones. 100cm long x 35cm deep x 5cm thick with the front edge finished with a bullnose profile. Priced per piece at £45each +VAT and delivery. PLEASE NOTE: STEP TREADS are sold PER STEP, so the price above (£45.00+VAT) is for one 100cm x 35cm tread and NOT per sqm. Just enter the total number of steps you require into the white box labelled SQM (next to the 'Prices include VAT' box) to add correctly to your shopping cart.
PRICES ARE PER SQM EXCLUDING DELIVERY. We operate a minimum order quantity of 5sqm on all stone products.

Product Details | |
Material | Limestone |
Finish | Distressed Aged Edges & textured, external grade surface |
Random Lengths | This stone is sold in the random length format which means the width is consistent but the lengths are different creating a dynamic brick-bond effect. |
Weight | Flagstone & 3cm thick Cobbles: 85kg per sqm | Step Tread: 50kg per step |
Step Tread | Unlike flagstones, Step Treads are sold per piece. Avignon step tread is 100cm long with one length finished in a bullnose (rounded) edge, the step is 35cm deep (front to back) and 5cm thick. Our step treads can be used internally and externally and are often used as coping stones too. |
Courtyard Cobbles | Our Avignon courtyard cobbles are 15cm wide by mixed lengths and are 3cm (30mm) thick. We recommend using a slurry primer (aka Bond bridges or bond coats) to improve adhesion of the cobbles to the mortar bed. |
Technical | |
Suitability | Flagstone & Cobbles: Outdoors, Floors | 5cm Step Tread: Outdoors (we also have indoor finish steps treads in 2cm, 3cm & 4cm thicknesses available) |
Installation Points | This is a 30mm thick flag so can be laid directly onto an MOT type 1 external base or similar or onto a concrete/screed base. If installing onto MOT then a wet sand & cement mortar mix must be used with the addition of SBR. NB: white Portland cement must be used in place of standard grey cement. If installing onto concrete/screed a good quality external grade white tile adhesive can be used. |
