Christopher Cullers Hut | St James Conservation Area

Christopher Cullers Hut is an ancient, well, 1959 hut with plenty of yarns to recount no doubt from back in the day. The fireplace has been removed and it has some curious fenestration, a 3/4 height door and would be a major squeeze if all bunks were occupied.

A newer, larger, more comfortable Christopher Hut is a short walk and might be a better option.
