This is the Celtic Roundhouse at the Cae Mabon Retreat Centre in Wales. It is set in natural woodland by a rushing river near a deep lake at the foot of high mountains. The roundhouse is one of several beautiful, natural, earthy structures used for people to meet and tell stories. You can see the collection of buildings at Cae Mabon on the Natural Homes Map here: www.naturalhomes.org/ecohousemap.htm?all@caemabon

Here's another inspiring earthbag construction for fans of natural homes out there! The Shantikuthi Earthbag Spiral House is called such because its walls were built in a spiral pattern. Its roof also has a spiral garden where visitors can harvest seeds to bring home and plant in their own yard. Learn more about it and view the slideshow of the building process on our site! :)
