Shepherd’s hut holidays in Yorkshire

Disconnect from technology and reconnect with nature in a shepherd’s hut perched among Yorkshire’s rolling dales and wild moors. Even if a bracing northerly wind is blowing, you’ll barely notice from your cosy spot in front of the wood burner nursing a reet good brew. A shepherd’s hut holiday in Yorkshire comes with luxuries like hot tubs, palatial decks and even a sauna in one case. Best of all, there are oodles of scenic walks with breathtaking views, and the nearest gravy-smothered Yorkshire pudding is never far away.
