If you enjoy fly fishing, you could not pick a better spot! The river Derwent is literally moments away from the hut and is fantastic for Salmon and Trout, permits are available locally just ask on arrival.

You really won’t be short of things to see at The Shepherds Hut.

The owners also welcome horses, so if you would like to bring your trusty steed on holiday too you can! There are stables, an arena and a paddock available for use at the additional fee of £12 per day. The Derwent Valley offers the perfect ride out, with scenic views which just cannot be beaten.
