Environmental Policy

Here at Laythams we are committed to providing the greenest possible environment, whilst ensuring the maximum comfort for our guests.

The Forest of Bowland AONB is one of the least spoiled areas in the country in terms of light pollution, traffic impact and urbanization and we are fortunate enough to be located in the heart of it.

It is for this reason why we are passionate about conserving and enhancing the natural beauty of the area in any way we can. A symbol of our commitment is our membership to the Green Tourism Scheme, which provides accreditation and encouragement for tourism businesses to reduce the environmental impact of their activities.

We recognise that a healthy environment is fundamental to the prosperity and wellbeing of our surroundings, habitat and customer experience. Therefore, we strive to make a positive contribution to environmental growth by protecting and enhancing the local and global environment in as many ways as we can.

Our aim and hopes are that when you come to visit us you can share our appreciation of our circular economy to help increase environmental growth, enable us to promote the importance and value of a quality environment by enjoying the abundance of wildlife and embrace the natural surroundings and habitat by being as environmentally conscious as possible.

We take our responsibility and pledge to the environment that we surround ourselves in seriously and we have many measures in place to ensure that our sustainable tourism here has minimal impact on our beautiful landscape and grounds. Therefore we focus and always plan to carry out work in an efficient way that minimizes or eliminates its adverse impact on our environment and promotes sustainability.

We furthermore aim to review, improve and update our environmental policy regularly and pledge to keep thinking of ways in which we can always push forward with our ‘green’ commitment. Hence we are proud to say that our commitment has recently been recognised in being nominated as a finalist for the Lancashire Tourism Ethical, Responsible & Sustainable Award 2022.
