A grant to the Centre for Alternative Technology, for travel expenses to cover school visits to the educational Eco Cabins. About the Eco Cabins
There are two Eco Cabins and each provides well insulated, centrally heated accommodation for 18 people.
Approaching the Eco Cabin from the covered link area you enter a welcoming, carpeted open-plan living space with kitchen facilities to meet the needs of self catering groups. The room is furnished with easy chairs, fold down tables, stackable dining chairs and coffee tables to offer maximum flexibility. Beyond is the bedroom area with six bedrooms, including two singles, plus shower rooms and toilets. Hot water for the kitchen and showers is heated by the woodstove or by the roof-mounted solar panels. You can use the woodstove for cooking or you can use the adjacent gas cooker. A classroom with T.V. and video facilities is available next to the cabins. Groups receive the support of the Duty Education Officer and all are given a free introductory talk on arrival.
Situated close by, are the photovoltaic cells, wind turbines and water turbine which, via batteries, supply the Eco Cabins with most of their electricity. A diesel generator is available to provide additional power when needed.
