From May through to September, we offer “Cosy Camping” or “Glamping” in our cool canvas Bell Tents and off-grid wooden cabins. Limited Pitches for tents and camper vans, enquire by email. Wake to the sounds of country life, Explore trails through our native woodland or take a 15 minute walk to the local shore and pier and bring your togs for a dip in case the tide is in! A true getaway.
Yoga
Why not try some Yoga or meditation while you are here? Weekly drop-in Yoga classes run in our bright cosy Yoga room with Trea. We host a Women and Girls Yoga weekend in May, Yoga and Vegan cookery retreat in June and the Loop Head Wellness Weekend in September. A Yoga class may be the perfect group activity for your getaway with friends.
Events
At our retreat space, we offer a selection of experiences that keep you firmly connected to the outdoor environment where you can enjoy all the benefits of nature bathing. Spending time in nature has been proven to enhance wellbeing; physically, mentally and emotionally for young and old. Some events are off-site activities such as Dolphin watching or Horse-riding.

🌿🦋🌿We still have some availability in our off-grid cabins for some early summer weekends, including one of our 2-room cabins for the MAY BANK HOLIDAY (due to a cancellation).
Early summer is about long bright days, bird-song, green shoots, quiet calm spaces before the summer rush.
Take advantage of the 'quiet-time' at Purecamping before the school holidays for some simple living... just you waking up with the dawn light and falling into a deep sleep with the stars.
** Between €100 and €110 per night depending on numbers and number of nights. Great value!! **

Celebrated the Spring Equinox last night and the sky cleared and the stars and planets shone 🌟
This is Orion on the right and Sirius to the bottom left of the screen. It was bright and almost flickered with colours.
According to @earthskyscience its the brightest star (the rainbow star) in the night sky and it's a perfect time to see it now which is interesting as it's associated with the Egyptian God of fertility Osiris.

We still have some availability for the Easter holidays. In our Willow lodge and our smaller off-grid cabins.
Have you been here in April or May? It is alive with bird song and everything looks so fresh and alive.
Great time for seeing Basking sharks at Loop Head if you can take your eyes of the sea pink carpet or the sea birds that have settled back on to the cliff ledges.

WILL IT OR WON'T IT?
This is no guarantee that we'll have residents. It's just investigating its options.
So so cool though after all this time. Almost as exciting as the birth of our 2 young ones 🤣🤣 @lughadh_heapes
@aislingheapes Just kidding lads ❣️❣️
In fairness, Kevin and Aisling put alot of effort in making this box 2 years ago and hopefully it will provide a safe home for some Barn Owl family.
Nature Needs us, We need Nature 🌿🦋🌿
@canolapictures
EXCITED 🌿🦉🌿
Original audio, silence.... just watch... the most magical looking bird I've ever seen in the true sense of magic and mystery.
Kevin and Aisling built a barn owl box 2 years ago and look who discovered it 🦉
We were enthralled with every movement, every gesture and look.... and this is the cut down version.
Will it venture in?

Camping 🏕 and Yoga 🧘🏼♂️
What a great combination 🌿🦋🌿
Two Brent Geese crashed my photo of Wigeon down at Querrin shore yesterday. I noticed a flash of Yellow on the individual on the right. Reminded me of a BG I photographed a couple of years back. Identified as 42BY, Blue(4) on the right and Yellow(2) on the left (Ringed in SW Iceland, 2014 and age 6 at the time).
I stayed around for another 20 minutes watching to see if they came out of the water. And out they came... with legs well hidden in seaweed, but caught them on the way back in. Same individual... so excited! They are apparently very faithful to a site and hopefully we'll continue to see this one return.
Thanks to the Irish Brent Geese Research group for their conservation work.

🌿The days are stretching. The birds are singing. Time to prepare to spring into action.
🧘♀️Yoga has 8 limbs. Asana or the physical postures are just 1 of those limbs.
The practice that I've found most useful in all my years is the witnessing or noticing of thoughts and feelings and reactions while practicing. It gives me perspective outside of the Yoga class and that is what we all need in bucket loads.
🧘♀️Meditation is a big part of my daily routine. It's a means for me to check-in to see what are the main themes or stories that my mind is feeding me. Because all those stories, left un-checked can leave me with an unsettled feeling...'can't put a finger on it' low mood or anxious feeling.
🧘♀️Meditation and mindfulness teach us to know our mind, not quieten it. But peace and stillness comes from knowing it. 🌿🦋🌿

This is an opportunity for some quiet time in the nature retreat space of Purecamping.🌿🦋🌿
🧘♀️The morning starts with a cup of herbal tea and a welcome to Purecamping . Some nice Yoga Asanas or postures. The postures are taught in a progressive way building stability, strength and mobility taking into account all aspects of your being; physical, energetic, emotional and mental.
Your Asana practice will be followed in the traditional way by pranayama (breathwork), meditation and Yoga Nidra leading you in to the peaceful quiet state of ‘Suaimhneas’ or contented bliss.
After a healthy and wholesome lunch, you’ll have time to experience the Loop Head Labyrinth, setting your intentions for the next few weeks and months 🙏
Cost: €45
The Labyrinth can be walked in many ways. Sometimes, it's quiet and reflective, sometimes it's a little more energetic.
🐶Jasper and Daisy are guarding Danu from Freya... I think....
🐕Lizzie is up on the bank investigating the wild smells.
🐶Freya is able to negotiate the Labyrinth walls like no other. Not recommended for humans, but those light footed creatures dance across and through the circuits.
The light is coming back 🌞

Day 12 of 12: Solid foundations required for rebuilding.
The mammalian and avian residents of the Purecamping woods rely on a diverse and healthy foundation of plants and insects.
If you want to help our threatened wildlife, you need to do little more than do less!
Keep some areas untended; let wild insects and plants thrive, and let Nature lead in healing us and itself.
Our biodiversity crisis, notwithstanding climate pressures, is a crisis that can be potentially resolved within decades (which is a very short space of time) 😁💪🏼.
Nature is resilient, let's work with it!
This particular footage is from the Purecamping woods courtesy of Canola Pictures. 🙂 Thanks Tony!
We hope you've enjoyed the few posts over the holidays. All the best to you all and to nature in 2023!

Day 11 of 12: The Irish Hare, a protected species... Irish style 🤦🏼
A compilation of hare clips (😉) from the Purecamping woods. To my mind a species of the open fields, it seems perfectly adapted to the woodland environment too. Well able to leap too, by day, or by night!
http://www.irishhare.org/
On a more sober note, this protected animal is counter-intuitively considered a game species and can be hunted or captured for coursing under license. Annually hares near us are rounded up from the wild, caged and 'trained' for more than a month, only to be released into a coursing arena to be quarry for two greyhounds, which facilitates betting on which dog might 'turn' the hare first.
A practice defended as being 'traditional', but surrounded by secrecy. Deliberately subjecting an animal to suffering for human entertainment is a tradition that I'm happy to let go... The irony being that the sport was introduced to Ireland by the British army in 1813! How's that for tradition? 🤦🏼
It's not like we don't have greyhound tracks to meet the needs of adherents.
http://www.banbloodsports.com/leaf-coursing.htm
Just because we've always done something a particular way, it doesn't mean that it's right!
No hares were harmed in the production of this piece 😉

Day 10: Defending territory
A dunnock (aka hedge sparrow) and a robin giving a busy blackbird territorial headaches as it defends its patch. Health is all about access to adequate resources. The battle for survival is daily. Data show that our wild neighbours are losing the battle. What are we at?
Enjoy the hustle and bustle, right up to it shooing off a thrush at the end. Simple stuff! 😁
