At the moment I use cobbles for edging a border which is about 2 inches higher than the driveway. Started using them when the existing retaining gravel board began to rot and crumble. Looks much nicer.
Before that I've used them in (reasonably) artistic piles as fillers around groups of pots of different shapes and sizes. Makes a group of mismatched pots into a cohesive feature in the corner of a patio.
You could use them as the base to a shallow pool / bird bath type feature.
I have seen some lovely patterns of cobbles set into concrete or even into lawn. This garden is just up the road from me
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
@Topbird. I tried using them as edging but had to lift them up often/ regularly / constantly to weed. How on earth do they manage that? I abandoned the project and collected them up
No children. I like the clochàn idea but they're all smooth and rounded so they'd slide off. They look like river cobbles to me. I was given them years ago so I'm not sure.
