Our Green Agenda
Ingoldmells Holidays sits on the Lincolnshire Coast 4 miles from Skegness, which is home to Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve. We are also 2 miles from the North Sea Observatory at Chapel Point, Chapel St. Leonards which has fantastic uninterupted views of the sand dunes, beach and the North Sea.
The Lincolnshire countryside is diverse with its mix of coast and rural, its agricultural and cultural heritage and its flora and fauna.
We are more and more aware of the potential impact that tourism can have on our precious environment and this is why we have joined the Green Tourism Business Scheme as a measure of our commitment to running a sustainable tourism business.
We don’t pretend to know everything about running a ‘Green Business’. We don’t pretend to get everything right. Sometimes we have to think long and hard to find the best way to do things which balance the needs of our guests with the needs of the environment. Some of the changes we have made to the way we do things seem such a small drop in the ocean. And we know we still have a long journey ahead of us. But we are trying, and we ask you to try too.
Here are some of the things we are doing:
And here are some of the things you can do to help:
The population of Skegness is around 21000 – yet every year this number swells to around 250,000! These are small things – but if quarter of a million of us do them every year... just think...!
