    Is it illegal to take stones from the beach or from a mountain or ditch in the country. Who actually owns the stones on a beach, the local authority?

    I do not mean pebbles [on beach] but fairly big stones the sort people use to make a rockery around trees and garden

    Are you talking about above the High Tide mark or below?

    Stones come under the definition of beach material under the Foreshore Act of 1933, but there is no automatic ban on their removal from any foreshore or seashore, save where a prohibition on their removal has been directed by the Minister for the Marine (presently the Minister at the Department for Agriculture, Food and the Marine) in respect of particular beaches where he has felt it necessary to intervene.

    Nevertheless, there may be a ban on removing beach material under local by-laws.

    Beaches aren't constant in this part of the world. The tide ebbs and flows.
