People planning a stay in a Northumberland holiday cottage could soon find themselves staying in or near one of the country”s greenest locations.
Berwick upon Tweed has been selected as one of the first ten areas to take part in the Low Carbon Communities Challenge, which aims to bring down the proportion of UK greenhouse gases emitted by heating, lighting and electrical items in the home.
It will receive a £10 million fund to be spent on items such as wind turbines and green transport projects, meaning staying in the area could be help to save the planet as well as give you a chance to relax.
Chair of the Berwick Community Trust Peter Watts said the project will be a "major step forward" for the town, adding that revenue generated will be reinvested in green initiatives.
Described by Visit Northumberland as "England”s most dramatic walled town", Berwick”s attractions include a number of museums, as well as the Maltings Theatre and Arts Centre.
