Woolly Thinking at Eskdale

Filed under: Environment, Hostels, MediaChris Hunt @ 9:18 am

What is it about the Western Lakes hostels and the environment? Over the last couple of years we’ve reported on a number of green initiatives in that part of the world, most recently an eco-boiler at Eskdale and exciting plans for Black Sail.

Now Eskdale are in the news again. According to the Green Building Press, they’ve been installing new insulation in their loft that’s made from sheep’s wool instead of the usual, but less planet-friendly fibreglass.

Thermafleece insulation is made by Penrith company Second Nature, and can be bought from specialist stockists all over the country if you fancy doing something similar in your own loft.
