Our yurts are made from ash poles that have been coppiced as part of a scheme to thin out and restore an area of woodland planted to replace trees lost in the '87 storm. Our focus on selecting shapely, rather than board-straight, trees from which to build our yurts means each structure we create is unique in look and atmosphere and is a thing of beauty, even before it has been decorated to your wishes.

History
Yurts, or similar structures, come originally from the nomadic peoples of central Asia. Evolving out of their need to up sticks (quite literally) and move their base every few months as they drive their herds on to new pastures, the yurt has become, through centuries of design, an extraordinarily versatile structure. They can handle all weathers, which in central Asia can be incredibly harsh, and yet pack down in only a couple of hours into bundles light enough to be carried by a few horses, camels, yaks or the roof-rack of a Russian built 4x4 land cruiser.

Uses
The versatility of yurts makes them perfect for a variety of outdoor uses, and yurts are becoming a more regular sight at weddings, corporate events, festivals and almost anywhere that you might need a temporary (or sometimes permanent), aesthetically pleasing outdoor shelter.
