Free Spirit Spheres have developed a unique environmentally friendly holiday accommodation idea.  Imagine staying a ’sphere’ which is suspended from a tree in a forest.  The spheres are made out of two laminations of wood strips over a frame and the outside is finished in clear fibre-glass.  The spheres are reached by a spiral staircase and could be linked together using rope walkways.  To find out more about Free Spirit Spheres visit their website here.
