Conservation

Heritage Coast Living

Dunwich Cliffs Estate Caravan Park is situated along the Suffolk Heritage Coastline and we are proud to be part of such a wonderful place.

Environmental Stewardship

Conservation and protecting our environment is very important to us and we encourage all out tenants to follow our "Environmental Policy" to have received many Gold David Bellamy Conservation Awards.

We are proud to have received the "Bellamy Gold Award" for our initiatives and sound commitment to the natural world.

Our Story

We are proud to have received the "Bellamy Gold Award" for our initiatives and sound commitment to the natural world.

The gold is the highest award given in the scheme run by the BH&HPA (The British Holiday and Home Parks Association – of which we are long standing members). Well we thought it was the highest award! For the conservation work done in 2014 DCE was also awarded a Special Distinction award for the creation of new habitat for snakes and insects. We have added 2 adder piles and 5 beetle pits to the park as well as planting an orchard and planting over 800 new trees and hedge plants.

Granted only to parks which have demonstrated a sound commitment to the natural world, the David Bellamy Conservation Awards are described by Professor Bellamy as the 'Green Olympics' and go only to parks which help protect and enhance the natural environment.

As Professor Bellamy commented: "Parks like this are creating wildlife wonderlands, and it's time they were given well-deserved recognition for their environmental commitment".

In the past few years, our initiatives have included the planting of trees and hedges and encouraging natural areas which all create a haven for wildlife. Our continued use of solar power, the addition of the recycling bins, the new owl boxes and our ongoing work to preserve the unique atmosphere of peace and tranquillity of our park have added to help us win this award. As no doubt most of you are aware we have a lot of wildlife including deer, foxes, adders, slow-worms and the occasional nightingale to name but a few, happily roaming the park (most of which seem to eat almost everything we plant!)

We are grateful to our wardens for all their hard work to help us achieve these awards and even more so to our tenants who have helped by planting around their caravans, getting rid of unnecessary fences and by helping us to keep Dunwich Cliffs Estate as natural and environmentally friendly as possible.
