SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN TOURISM
At Belmore Farm, we are aiming to create a bio diverse environment where wildlife can thrive.
We first came to Belmore in 2019 and have been working with our 12 acres of fields to create species rich meadows, wetlands and woodland thickets which will provide habitat for pollinators, invertebrates, birds and mammals.
2500 trees have been planted in 2021 with the help of the National Trust volunteers. The meadows are carefully managed as hay meadows which are cut late in the summer and then grazed by sheep in the autumn. This provides maximum benefit for the pollinators and birds that live here, and also allows the wildflowers to set seed for germination the following year.
Woodlands and meadows also act as a significant carbon sink and help in flood prevention.
To see curlews and red kites, hear the cuckoo in the spring, to view brilliant stars in the dark night sky, and to sit in the wildflower meadows at sunset are rare and magical experiences.
Our sustainable tourism practices include
Planting 2500 trees
Bringing a redundant agricultural barn back into use
Building walls from stone reclaimed from our land and railings are reclaimed from another site
High levels of insulation
Heating from Green Tariff electricity and logs from local farm. Ground source/air source heat pumps planned this year
Most of furniture is reused, except beds which are new and mattresses eco friendly
Green cleaning products used as far as possible, but we also use recommended antiviral sprays
All waste recycled - zero to landfill
Energy efficient white goods and lightbulbs
