Loop Head, County Clare, Munster
Owner-run cabins and bell tents in ten acres of native woodland on the Loop Head Peninsula, a quarter of an hour's walk from the sea.
Loop Head is the long finger of Clare that most people drive past on the way to the Cliffs of Moher, which is exactly why it is worth stopping. Pure Space occupies ten acres of native woodland fifteen minutes' walk from the water, and it is run by Trea, who also teaches the yoga.
The range runs from self-catering lodges down through off-grid wooden cabins to furnished bell tents, with a handful of pitches kept back for cyclists and walkers — a small detail that says a good deal about the place. Solar panels, and outdoor showers fed by harvested rainwater.
Best for: a slow week on a peninsula almost nobody stops on
About forty-five minutes west of Ennis. From Kilrush take the N67 towards Kilkee, turn left at Lisdeen church with Keane's pub on the right, then some five kilometres of winding road to the crossroads at Querrin School; turn right and Pure Space is about 300 m along on the left. Public transport reaches Kilkee; there is a local taxi.
