After being trained at John Makepeace’s Hook Park College in Parnham, Richard Lee and his partner Jane Dennison decided to revive the tradition of Victorian shepherds’ huts: 

Creating huts on the highest level of craftsmanship, combining leading edge techniques rooted in traditional manufacturing skills. 

Plankbridge’s contemporary shepherds’ huts combine old-style shepherd’s romanticism with all the luxury, indulgence and comfort of our modern lifestyle: a night in the hut is never-to-be-forgotten.

Clients of Richard and his talented hutmaking team, who produce and improve their huts constantly for the last 20 years, is the National Trust as well as the award-winning Pig Hotel and a wide range of private customers whose individual claims and wishes came true.

In the meanwhile, Plankbridge’s huts - standing the test of British weather - can be found all over the world: f.e. in New York, Portugal, Switzerland and France.
