Need to look at laying a good quality gravel path in an exposed area. I have looked at local parks and they have a yellow stone type,almost like grano ,but with more fines. Its made from 10mm to dust stone with 4x1 tanalised wood borders ,staked every metre or so.
I've seen these paths everywhere, but cant think of the name.
Any ideas fellas?
edit ,is it 'Granatic sand' >?

I'd be 99% certain it's called self binding gravel.

Ta chaps! Google image search confirmed both replies 
Never laid/used/bought it ever, but walked on it 100's of times, just goes to show eh?
So as its a 'self binder' is it the case that it will lay straight onto compacted ground ,or is a smattering (50mm or so) of MOT needed to stabilise it?
Suppose, as it runs at 100 per tonne , fill with mot then top with 50mm of the dear stuff.
