Wherever we go and whatever we do , we have some impact on the environment and community. By making positive choices during your visit, you can help look after Cornwall and this special area ensuring that it retains everything that is special about it for your next visit.
1. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - In Cornwall we take our recycling very seriously, as we hope you do at home! Say no to packaging where possible, especially plastic bags. You will find recycling banks in most main car parks across the area. We are working hard to recycle all we can - please help us by using the recycling facilities available.
2. Reduce traffic: walk, cycle or use public transport - Walking and cycling are great ways to see the area without adding to traffic. Use public transport if you need to travel to your start point, but try exploring near to where you are staying - there are some fantastic places to see right on your doorstep! There are more and more fully accessible routes becoming available, ensuring access for all, too. Ask us for more details.
3. Stay local, eat local, buy local, see local - Support local producers and services - this way your visit has a real benefit to the communities of Cornwall. And you get to see and taste the real quality that Cornwall offers. Visit farmers' markets, farm shops, village stores, pubs and cafes. Much of our distinctive culture is evident in the hundreds of community events that happen throughout the year and are well worth supporting - and the food and drink is simply fantastic!
4. Chill out, switch off... - Switch off lights and dripping taps, use the voluntary laundry scheme so that we only wash your towels when they need it. Every single effort helps to protect and enhance our beautiful environment. It only takes a moment and it really is worth it!
5. Follow the Countryside Code: respect, protect, enjoy - The Countryside Code reminds visitors to protect plants and animals, take their litter away, leave gates and property as you find them, keep dogs under close control and consider other people and users when visiting the countryside.
THANK YOU!
