Lakelovers turning the Lake District green for the New Year!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When visitors make their way down the various A-roads entering the Lake District, the swathes of green in the Spring and Summer months covering the majestic mountains, low-lying farmland and ancient woods takes your breath away. And the open space and fresh air upon arrival instantly relaxes even the most stressed holidaymaker.<\/p>\n

The Lake District National Park<\/a><\/strong> is England\u2019s largest and covers 885 square miles, including 26 miles of coastline and has 16 \u2018lakes\u2019 and 10+ tarns, making it a natural haven for wildlife \u2013 and it is its unique geography and cultural heritage which makes the Lakes so special and why we love it so much.<\/p>\n

Forgive our sentimentality as we admit that want to protect it for generations to come.<\/p>\n

With this in mind our 2016 New Year\u2019s resolution is to focus on our green credentials and minimize the impact of our business on the environment.<\/p>\n

Over the last few years our commitment to our Green Policy<\/a><\/strong> has been as forthright as ever in our day-to-day working practices, but we just felt now is a good time to share an update.<\/p>\n

Green Tourism<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2015 Lakelovers were proud to receive a Bronze Award from Green Tourism<\/a><\/strong>, the largest sustainable certification programme in the UK and abroad. On the back of this we\u2019re looking forward to encouraging more of our owners this year to join the scheme also, which involves an independent on-site grading visit followed up by regular inspections to ensure requirements are kept and to help property owners focus on improvements.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve set up many green initiatives across the Lakelovers business and achieved the 2015 Green Tourism \u2018strong BRONZE\u201d award for this continued work, and we\u2019d like to share some of our environmentally friendly measures:<\/p>\n
