What is a Shepherds Hut?
Originating in the 16th century, traditional shepherd huts served as mobile shelters for shepherds as they moved across the countryside with their flocks. These compact and practical dwellings provided warmth, security, and a place to rest, with the interiors often featuring a simple stove and a bed.

At The Merry Harriers, we have taken the essence of these humble historical dwellings and transformed them into a luxurious glamping experience.
