Shepherds Huts in Dittisham

Nestled in the picturesque valley of Dittisham, South Devon, lies a unique landscaping project featuring five charming shepherd huts. The steep terrain presented a significant challenge, requiring extensive earth-moving to achieve perfectly level sites for each hut. This intricate task involved substantial groundwork, with around 60% of the effort dedicated to unseen elements such as drainage, power, and water systems sourced from a borehole. The result is a beautifully integrated landscape that harmoniously blends with the natural surroundings, offering a serene retreat in the heart of Devon.

A car park area was dug out and all the paths and tracks have been laid and rolled. Wildflower turf has been laid, and over 150 trees have been planted. It took a few months, but the results are stunning. Each hut has its own pitch with a patio, solid wood outdoor furniture & a wood-fired hot tub.
