Eco friendly
Burgh Island has always been an early adopter of good environmental practice. Water saving, organic produce, energy saving lighting – these are all to be expected as standard. Burgh goes that bit further in its relationship with the environment as we are a working tidal island which means that we understand the effect of man on the environment and the environment on man.
Everything but the native plants on the Island has come or arrived over the beach and has appreciated the tides, the wind and the seas.
