Visitor Charter
Responsible Visitor Charter
Be a responsible visitor – 7 things you can do to help save the planet!
- Conserve energy – Reduce energy by switching off lights and closing windows if the heating is on. The Energy Saving Trust provides information on what you can do at home.
- Give the car a rest – Leave the car behind, if only for a day, walk, cycle or use public transport.
- Shop local – Use local products, they give you a flavour of the area and help support local communities. We are fortunate to have some fantastic producers of food, drink, and arts and crafts in our region. Information on local markets is included in your information folder.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Try to avoid overly packaged goods and say no to that extra carrier bag. Please see our chart which shows what can be recycled.
- Be Water Wise – Please use water wisely.
- Respect nature – Help us to look after the landscape and wildlife by not littering, guarding against fire and using footpaths and cycle-ways responsibly. Leave gates as you find them.
- Support Green Tourism Businesses- There are hundreds of businesses trying to reduce their environmental impacts through the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
