The History of Shepherd's Huts
Shepherd's Hut by The Yorkshire Hut Company set in woodland in stunning
countryside.
Shepherd's Huts were originally used by shepherds in England and Wales, originating it would seem, in Yorkshire. They would be lived in during lambing season, allowing shepherds to be close to and keep a watchful eye over their flocks.
Traditionally shepherd's huts would simply have had a bed, a wood burning stove and a medicine cabinet. Today Shepherd's Huts of Yorkshire make fantastic home offices, artist's studios, children's playrooms, teenage bedrooms, fishing huts or simply quiet hideaways. They look at home in an urban garden as well as in the heart of the countryside, by the side of a lake or in woodlands. Furthermore, because they are on wheels they don't require any planning permission (unless you have a particular restriction by your local authority).
