Sustainable Holidays

If the natural environment matters to you and an eco-consciousness underpins the choices that you make in life, you will be welcomed as one of us during your holiday in Bude.

Our natural surroundings really define Bude – we are famous for our pristine beaches, gorgeous coastal paths, rugged geology, canal towpath trails, wildlife and nature reserves and it is our focus to preserve this beauty for many generations to come.

Join us by following ‘The Bude Way’ during your stay which is all about an extra mindfulness in the way you live and make choices.  We have a commitment to trying to operate as sustainably as possible – to take care to keep waste to a minimum, recycle religiously, promote walking and public transport as alternatives to taking the car and encourage visitors to take the time to look and experience the wildlife and conservation areas nearby.

You can stay with an accommodation provider who puts sustainable practice at the centre of their operations; in diverse ways such as harvesting rain-water for the garden, to using high-tech Solar PV to provide energy for hot water and heating.

Challenge yourself to leave the car on the driveway and explore by bus and foot alone.

Only buy locally-grown or produced foods and visit our local shops and  bakeries for proper Cornish goodies.

Join a local group on one of the regular beach cleans and learn more about the good things happening to keep our beautiful area beautiful.
