Ram Baa Shepherd Hut is one of ten ‘Hidden Treasures’ and sits right in the middle of the arboretum, surrounded by beautiful trees and nature.
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the Arboretum
Tucked among the whispering trees of Walcot Hall’s enchanting arboretum, Ram Baa is a charming, rustic shepherd’s hut that offers a truly off-grid escape. With leafy views on all sides and nature as your nearest neighbour, this is where time slows down and simplicity takes centre stage.
Inside, you’ll find a snug and thoughtfully designed space, with a double bed, bench seating, clever storage, and a camping stove for morning cuppas or simple twilight meals.
Ram Baa doesn’t feature an indoor wood burner so layers are always a good idea.
Surrounded by the gentle hush of woodland, you’re just a short wander from two hidden pools—glimmering, secret spots perfect for quiet contemplation or a refreshing dip. Don’t forget to visit the Great Douglas Fir too—at over 17ft wide and 100ft tall, it’s a breathtaking guardian of the arboretum.
True to the Walcot spirit, Ram Baa is off-grid, so while there’s no electricity, the hut glows with the warm twinkle of fairy lights once the sun dips below the trees.
Nearby, you’ll find a wooden-clad cabin with hot showers and flushing loos, as well as a compost loo even closer for late-night dashes. There’s a shared outdoor kitchen just a short walk away with everything you need to prepare simple meals: gas burners, running water, cutlery, and the essentials—tea, coffee, and sugar.
We provide bed linen, but please bring your own towels.
You’re very welcome to bring a BBQ, and if you’re packing a cool box, there’s a communal freezer near the Estate Office where you can refreeze your blocks.
Ram Baa is nestled deep in nature, and we recommend coming prepared. A torch is essential for after-dark arrivals, and sturdy footwear is a must—especially if the weather’s been wild. Wellies make wandering even more joyful in the wet.
Every corner of Walcot Hall welcomes four-legged guests, and Ram-Baa is no exception. Let them roam, rest, and adventure alongside you.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the grounds, our charming Shepherd’s Hut is your cosy countryside hideaway. Perfect for peaceful escapes, wild swims, and starry-night campfires – all with a touch of rustic charm.
Situated within the Walcot Hall estate in our beautiful Arboretum, there are two Showman’s caravans.
Located in the yurt field alongside Crazy Horse and Buffalo Springfield Yurts this yurt has its own private decking with wonderful views over the valley and village of Lydbury North.
Situated in the arboretum, with stunning views over Shropshire’s Longmynd this Showman’s Caravan is an authentic caravan which has been renovated and redesigned to suit people looking for a holiday with a difference.
