There were once 400 lookers huts on Romney Marsh, but now only 10 survive and most of these are in a bad state of repair. They were built as shelter or tool stores for the shepherds (or lookers) on Romney Marsh looking after the sheep. Based on the remains of a hut at Cutters Bridge, Midley this hut is being constructed at the Romney Warren Country Park and when completed it will be the only publicly accessible hut on Romney Marsh.
