Welcome to Goat’s Path Farm & Pod Park is a beautiful glamping park in a farm setting.

You will find luxury pods, equipped for all your essential needs, set into the landscape high above Bantry Bay, giving your the opportunity to take in views across the surrounding countryside and bay and the beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way.

The Sheep’s Head peninsula is a haven for hill walking and all aspects of tourism, with spectacular views and beautiful mountain top walks that are easy to access from the Goat’s Path.

The Pod Park features six fully furnished pods, each with a double bed and futon, a kitchenette & a bathroom consisting of a wash basin, and toilet. Five of the pods feature showers, and a shower is available at reception for Hillfield Pod. WiFi is provided to all pods.

Walks around the Pod Park

Located just below the pods is a short river walk around our Fairy Forest.

Then above the pods is the Goat’s Path Walk, which is a steep long walk to the top of the farm with a stunning view point by day and star gazing opportunity by night.

This walk continues down the other side of our farm passed Glenlough Lake and returning once again to the Pod Park.

The main Glanlough Loop of the Sheep’s Head way can be joined whilst walking the Goat’s Path Walk.

Top of the Rock Pod Páirc

November 1, 2013 by Dunmanus

The Top of the Rock Pod Páirc and Walking Centre in Drimoleague offers you a wonderful and unusual experience of glamping in Ireland with its luxury camping pods

West Cork glamping in an Irish farmyard setting gives you the perfect way to experience a holiday in the heart of West Cork. Guided walking tours along West Cork’s Sheep’s Head Way & St. Finbarr’s Way can also be organised here.

High above the village of Drimoleague, there is a spot where people feel compelled to pause and reflect on the beauty of the stunning landscape around them. The camping pods are perfect for families and adventure seekers.

It’s the perfect place for year-round camping in cosy surroundings, with a warm welcome guaranteed.

‘Barr an Carraig’ or ‘Top of the Rock’, has always attracted people – from St. Finbarr in the sixth century, to today’s walkers and campers – who appreciate the place’s power to touch the soul.

Now it’s become home to an innovative Pod Páirc and a state-of-the-art walking centre. The camping pod facilities – opened in October 2013 – provide year-round glamping opportunities for people who enjoy walking on West Cork’s spectacular and peaceful hiking trails.

The cosy pods are surprisingly affordable, and the Pod Páirc is a wonderful place to start making great holiday memories.
