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.
