QUIETLY GREENER

This year, the Quiet Site will be operating as a carbon neutral company. Our unavoidable carbon emissions will be offset by a program of local tree planting. Sustainable operating methods are being adopted wherever possible and various practices have already been implemented to this end, e.g.

  • All WC flush water is harvested.
  • The water treatment plant uses the latest reed bed technology. (Please ask at the shop for a tour of The Jeremy Clarkson Septic Tank and Reed Bed; full of bull yet environmentally friendly!)
  • Low energy lighting, in conjunction with movement detectors, is used throughout the park.
  • Biodegradable products are used for cleaning.
  • A full recycling centre is in operation for visitors’ use.
  • Storage facilities for touring caravans are available locally, thus removing the need for expensive towing.
  • The bar is heated by an open fire which burns wood from a sustainable source.
  • The toilets and children’s rooms are centrally heated using a boiler which burns both sustainable wood and pellets.
  • A wild flower meadow has been created in a section of the park.
  • The Quiet Site brochure is printed on recycled paper.
