Bamford Quaker Community, Hope Valley

Open 23rd & 24th May, 10am-4pm each day. Just turn up.

Bamford Quaker Community is a housing co-operative which is home to 10 residents and also has space for around 15 guests. Eco renovations include internal solid wall insulation to solid stone walls, a replacement boiler and radiators and a composting toilet. The residents place a high priority on sustainability, growing and cutting logs for wood stoves and maintaining an extensive wildlife area and vegetable plots. They also monitor their energy use to avoid keeping rooms warmer than necessary.

The second photo below show the internal solid wall insulation being installed.

It is possible to organise a joint visit to the Quaker Community and to Thornhill Eco House on either day, as they are close to each other. For more information please contact 01433 651865.
