Hideaways' Conservation Work

The Tourism and Conservation Partnership

Lakeland Hideaways are pleased to be a Gold member of the Lake District Tourism and Conservation Partnership.

Established in 1993, this is a non-profit making organisation that brings together tourism businesses, conservation groups and visitors to raise funds and enhance the natural beauty of the Lake District. The Partnership’s legacy will be that conservation becomes the norm for the tourism industry, whilst fostering and facilitating environmental best practice.

Recognised as a centre of excellence WORLDWIDE, The Partnership continues to be cited as an example of best practice amongst key organisations. In the first ten years, over £325,000 has been raised through our Members who in turn support a wide range of diverse, practical conservation projects. The rewards for everyone involved are therefore outstanding and help secure the future of this most beautiful place.

In 2008/2009 Lakeland Hideaways, with the support our guests has raised over £3,000 which has funded improvements in a footpath known as Scar House Lane which leads from the village, across the fields towards Colthouse. This involved resurfacing, replacing the footbrige with a wider timber bridge and improved signage.

We ask for a £1 donation for every booking, along with donation envelopes left in the cottages. We match pound donations, enabling us to work together to fund exciting conservation projects in the area.

A BIG THANKYOU TO ALL THOSE WHO MADE A DONATION AND WE HOPE YOU WILL GET A CHANCE TO TAKE THIS FOOTPATH DURING YOUR STAY AND HAVE PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT YOUR DONATION HELPED FUND IT'S IMPROVEMENTS.
