Sustainable Holidays in Cornwall: A Green Escape
Embracing Eco-Friendly Tourism
Sustainable holidays in Cornwall are more than just a trend; they represent a commitment to preserving the region’s natural beauty for future generations.
At Tawnamoor, sustainability isn’t an afterthought but a way of life. By opting for eco-friendly practices, such as utilising renewable energy and minimising carbon footprints, we are committed to green tourism.
Locally Sourced, Globally Inspired
One of the cornerstones of sustainable tourism is supporting local communities. Tawnamoor takes pride in sourcing amenities locally, from fresh produce to artisanal goods.
Our guests can also create delicious meals in our fully equipped, cosy cottage kitchens using locally sourced ingredients, contributing to a more sustainable and authentic holiday experience.
By doing this, we help reduce transportation emissions and support economic growth within Cornwall.
Eco-Friendly Amenities at Tawnamoor
Renewable Energy: Powering a Greener Future
Tawnamoor’s commitment to renewable energy is evident through our use of a biomass boiler. Our cottages minimise reliance on fossil fuels by harnessing the power of sustainable fuel renewable sources, such as wood pellets or logs, thus reducing carbon emissions.
We also generate our own power via our wind turbine and solar panels, ensuring that our operations at Tawnamoor are not only sustainable but also self-sufficient.
Additionally, the presence of an EV charger encourages our guests to opt for electric vehicles, further lowering their carbon footprint during their stay.
Cosy Comforts with a Conscience
A staple of traditional Cornish cottages, the log burner at Tawnamoor not only adds warmth and cosy charm but also aligns with sustainable principles.
Using locally sourced wood, our guests can enjoy the cosy ambience guilt-free, knowing that it doesn’t come at the expense of the environment. It’s a perfect example of how modern amenities can be seamlessly integrated into eco-friendly practices.
Connecting with Nature: Foraging and Green Spaces
Exploring Nature’s Bounty
Foraging is more than just a pastime at Tawnamoor; it’s an opportunity for guests to connect with the land in a meaningful way.
We hold regular events with our local knowledgeable guide, Emma The Forager, with foraging adventures that introduce Cornwall’s rich biodiversity while promoting sustainable harvesting practices.
From wild herbs to seasonal fruits, guests can experience the thrill of gathering their ingredients.
Plenty of Room to Roam
Surrounded by lush greenery and expansive grasslands, Tawnamoor offers so many opportunities for outdoor exploring.
Cardinham Woods is right next door to our cottages with plenty of trails for all abilities, whether on foot or by bike!
There are plenty of places to go for a walk, hike through the countryside, or enjoy a picnic amidst Cornwall’s stunning landscapes. You can hike on Bodmin Moor, cycle along The Camel Trail, or visit one of Cornwall’s beautiful beaches, all of which make for eco-friendly holidays.
These green spaces not only provide sanctuary for local flora and fauna but also serve as a reminder of the importance of preserving natural habitats.
Surrounded by grassy fields, we are designated as a County Wildlife Site by the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, and we are actively involved in enhancing the natural habitats and biodiversity of the area.
Community Engagement: Supporting Local Businesses and Beyond
