Sustainable tourism: The Quiet Site near Ullswater has been carbon neutral for four years and they have just installed new solar PV panels A Cumbrian glamping site is hoping it can lead the way in sustainable tourism with the installation of the first 36 of its planned 192 solar PV panels. The award-winning Quiet Site, near Ullswater, has been a carbon neutral business for four years and produces 48 per cent of its own energy. With the addition of their latest development, the ‘Gingerbread Houses’, they hope to push themselves to produce 80 per cent of their own energy. “We’ve found that sustainable business is actually also good business,” said Quiet Site Owner, Daniel Holder.

TOURISM Minister Nigel Huddleston MP has praised Cumbria as a year-round destination after he was in the county to see the wide range of businesses already welcoming visitors. Organised by Cumbria Tourism, the trip showcased a wide-ranging Cumbrian experience, both inside and outside the Lake District National Park, and the variety and quality of food and drink, accommodation, culture, heritage and adventure activities set within the dramatic background of Cumbria’s lakes and mountains. It was a busy day starting at the Lingholm Estate near Keswick where the Minister met various business owners from the area as well as some furry alpaca friends.
