Kitsham Environment

At Kitsham we are really keen on doing our bit for the environment and we appreciate that many of our guests are keen to do likewise whilst on holiday.

One of the many benefits of coming to stay at Kitsham is that we not only recycle on site but we also have a huge range of other environmental benefits.

Environmental Projects

In addition to joining the Coast Project, we have also undertaken a number environmentally beneficial projects on our farm. We aim to reduce our footprint, allowing future generations of our family to welcome guests to stay in Cornwall.

We have installed two 15kW wind turbines that provide the electricity supply for our beef and sheep farm.

We have a rain water harvesting system in place to supply water to the cattle and also to collect dirty water and deposit it onto our fields preventing it from flowing down into the river.

We are also members of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme and Natural England.
