Kelling Heath wins green award

Norfolk-based Kelling Heath Holiday Park has been recognised for its green credentials, triumphing in the Sustainable Tourism category at this year’s EDP Tourism Awards, sponsored by the National Trust.

Entrants were asked to demonstrate good practice in the use of sustainable materials and environmentally friendly products, as well as initiatives to reduce energy consumption, save water and minimise waste.

Some of the MMM Premier Park's eco projects have included the introduction of solar water heating and rain water harvesting at the shower buildings used by touring guests and a project to use waste oil from the restaurants to make bio-diesel for the park’s agricultural vehicles.

Blue Sky Leisure, the owners of Kelling Heath, said: “It’s great to be recognised for the hard work we are putting into making the park as sustainable as possible. The time and resources we are investing to preserve the natural beauty and wildlife of the surrounding area now will allow our guests to enjoy this beautiful environment for many years to come.”

This latest awards success comes just a few weeks after Kelling Heath was awarded the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation.
