Green Tourism Award
21 December 2015
Headlam Hall has received a 'Silver' grading following a recent assessment by Green Tourism. We are very pleased with this award but will be doing what we can to work towards gold in the future.
It is a challenge to make a 17th century grade 2 building perfectly 'green' but we are carrying out significant investments to move in the right direction. Over the next few months our refurbishment programme will include a new more efficient water system, improved insullation and more energy efficient lighting. This is on top of work all ready carried out in recent months in the Coach House Suite.
Our policy of locally sourcing our food also helps our rating as this not only ensures fresh, traceable produce but also reduces travel miles. We currently re-cycle all cardboard and bottles and will belooking at better waste management in the near future.
