Responsible Visitor Charter

Be a responsible visitor – seven things that you can do to help save the planet

1. Conserve energy – reduce energy by switching off lights and closing windows if the heating is on. The Energy Saving Trust provides information on what you can do at home.

2. Give the car a rest – leave the car behind, if only for a day. Walk, cycle or use public transport.

3. Shop local – use local products, they give you a flavour of the area and help to support local communities.

4. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle – try to avoid overly packaged goods and say no to that extra carrier bag. Try to recycle any waste that you have.

5. Be water wise – Please use water wisely. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth.

6. Respect nature – Help us to look after the landscape and wildlife by not littering, guarding against fire and using footpaths and cycleways responsibly.

7. Support Green Tourism Businesses – there are hundreds of businesses trying to reduce their environmental impacts through the Green Tourism Business Scheme. Businesses are awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold awards for their efforts to be environmentally responsible. See the Green Tourism website for more information.

And most importantly, have a great time when you are here – we would like you to come back!
