Intrigued by what an earth-sheltered home might look, or feel like, inside? Or wanting an overview of what it is to live sustainably?
On-site tours on a Saturday
Join one of our small group tours, which are led by a resident of the project on six Saturdays a year to give you a personal view on what it’s like to live in this sustainable co-housing project.
This tour includes a guided walk around the site to learn about our food, water and renewable energy systems, a tour of one of the homes, and a presentation on the challenges faced during the build, and subsequent development, of the project.
It is ideal for
- People seeking a more sustainable personal lifestyle
- Undergraduate students
- Environmental and energy campaigners
- Other organisations with an interest in environmental issues, including climate change mitigation and adaptation
If you have a large group please contact us about a group tour.
If you require a tour for those in education we can help. If you wish to discuss your self-build, renewable energy or water systems project in detail please consider our design services. If these tours do not suit your needs we can arrange a tour designed especially for you.
We run around 6 tours a year, from 2-5pm on a Saturday.
