Social and Environmental

Protecting the local environment is of great importance to Gidleigh Park , particular respect is paid to our location within Dartmoor National Park.

Gidleigh Park is a keen contributor towards recycling, composting and producing large amounts of seasonal fruit and vegetables for hotel use, which greatly reduces the impact of air miles.

Gidleigh Park also has a charitable donation system whereby every diner can voluntarily donate 50p to the ‘Charity of the month’. Those who have benefited include Devon Air Ambulance, Hospice South West and Farms for City Children.

For the most recent fundraiser at Gidleigh Park, Sir Michael Parkinson gave a highly entertaining talk, followed by lunch by Michael Caines MBE and an auction raising an incredible £25,00 in total. Funds went to the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund, helping all those who have been injured in the line of duty.

Michael Caines MBE is an active supporter of Families for Children South West. www.familiesforchildren.org
