Huts for hikers

If you’re having a crack at the South Downs Way, Meon Springs provides a relaxing stop-off in the serene Meon Valley. Its adult-only shepherd huts (there are also yurts for families) are situated by fishing lakes (see above) in a quiet spot in rural Hampshire. They’re beautifully simple, but come with a kitchen, toilet and shower, and are also handily placed for those walking the Monarch’s Way. meonsprings.com
