Stowford's Latest Gold Medal in the David Bellamy Conservation Awards
The David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme is one of the most established awards for green tourism in the UK, with the intention of creating caravan parks that respect and care for the countryside.
- (1888PressRelease) October 31, 2014 - At our caravan site in North Devon, Stowford have been participating for over ten years, and we've received the gold award for much of that time.
We're delighted to announce that, in the David Bellamy Conservation Award Scheme 2014, we have been awarded Gold once again!
As a participant in the scheme, we're regularly assessed by the scheme's local wildlife experts, who check on what we're doing towards green tourism. They assess how we manage our land as a haven for wildlife and our overall ecological management. They check up on what we're doing towards sustainability - reducing our consumption of water, energy and other resources, and reducing our waste. And they see whether or not we're good neighbours, through our support for the local community and economy.
We enjoy working with the scheme's assessors, because we always have plenty that we're proud of and want to show off. The awards are designed to celebrate the achievements of the best parks around, to highlight what we're doing for the British countryside, and to encourage other parks to follow our lead.
Our Gold award shows that we're at the top of our game when it comes to the conservation scheme, although we certainly won't be resting on our past achievements. We're committed to continuing our success, and we're already working towards our gold status for next year. We're always trying to innovate and try new ideas to continue our conservation successes.
We're among a list of truly excellent parks; all of the award winners are providing something special to the environment, and we're proud to be among them. As a family-friendly caravan site in North Devon, with a touring park for your motorhome holiday or a camping pitch for your camping holiday, we don't just support the environment, we work hard to provide a fantastic camping and caravan site to our guests too.
In fact, we're one of the few touring caravan sites in North Devon that opens all year round, giving you the opportunity to get take your holiday whenever it suits you, and get to experience nature whatever the season. Our gorgeous rural location is ideal for exploring the best of the local area, and our onsite services are second to none. We're renowned for our exceptional range of facilities, with a heated swimming pool, riding centre, play areas and crazy golf just a few of the activities on hand.
Of course, bathroom facilities are always a priority for a motorhome or caravan holiday, and at Stowford each meadow has its own modern amenity block. As part of our environmental credentials, we're reducing our carbon footprint through the use of a new Biomass boiler system, which will provide our heating and hot water. It's just another reason we're an award-winning site.
