Pioneering sustainable living
"The Lammas Ecovillage is a collective of smallholdings and eco-dwellings in Preseli hills, North Pembrokeshire. Residents explore alternative models for living on the land, broadly in line with the Welsh Governments ‘One Planet Development’ policy. The smallholdings combine traditional farming and building techniques with the latest innovations in environmental design, green technology and permaculture."
"The residents of the ecovillage have come from all walks of life and their plots are individual expressions of sustainable living. Some residents like to remain private, while others are happy to share their knowledge through running courses and tours of their smallholdings, and by accepting volunteers. Most plots have a dwelling-house, covered growing areas (greenhouses and poly-tunnels), barns and/or workshop space (for livestock, storage and crafts), and are subdivided into different areas depending on the needs of the residents and their livelihoods."
