12 Amazing cabins that make you want to escape into the wilds

What with Shed of the year judges George Clarke and Will Hardie building a cabin on the new series of Amazing Spaces.

I thought I would look at some of the stunning cabins our sheddies have made over the years.

I will start with this unique one – that is not really a shed let alone a cabin in the normal sense but just shows what you sheddies can do (and what I allow on the site!)
