Print this pageWelcome to Yurtworks
"Whether they are used as places for dancing, storytelling, camping, for going on retreat or for holding gatherings for friends and family, yurts have an atmosphere and a feeling that is hard to find anywhere else."
Cornish Yurt Holidays
Yurtworks was one of the first companies to pioneer yurt camping in the UK, setting up the first yurt in 2001. Since then Cornish Yurt Holidays have expanded in a small way to three yurts and two bathroom yurts on our 35 acre smallholding. The aim is still to offer people maximum comfort, seclusion and peace in close touch with the natural surroundings.
Yurts for Sale
We have been making yurts for over 11 years. Visits to the Kyrgyz Republic and Mongolia to meet yurt and ger makers has helped us explore ,what it is that makes these tents so unique. We specialise in the Kyrgyz style yurt and while some changes have been made to suit our climate the aim has been to build yurts to a very high standard that still retain the beauty, strength and spirit of the originals. This year we also have some second hand yurts for sale.
Courses
With Bushcraft Leadership and Forest School qualifications we are developing our Bushcraft and Nature Awareness programme so that we can start to provide a fully integrated range of courses for adults, children and schools.
Our other courses include Yurt making, Long bow making, Bushcraft skills, Wild Food Cooking and Basket Making.
Picture Gallery
After two visits to Mongolia and a visit to Kyrgyzstan we have assembled a comprehensive picture gallery of photographs and other teaching material. Whether it is a slide presentation and discussion for adults or a more hands on session for schools we can adapt the content according to customer or curriculum.
