Tours at Dandridges Mill in East Hanney INCLUDING ARCHIMEDEAN  HYDROSCREW - ONE OF THE FIRST IN UK!

TOURS START AT 12PM AND 2PM 

 

A GREEN FUTURE

Harnessing the surrounding natural resources, Dandridge's Mill achieves an impressive 91% reduced carbon footprint through innovative low and zero carbon technologies, careful building design, high-performance insulation and the use of advanced LED light fittings.

Generating its own electricity using one of the first Archimedean Hydro Screws in the country combined with solar photovoltaics, and collecting hydrothermal energy from the river to run the hot water and heating, Dandridge's Mill is pushing the frontiers of eco-building way beyond the norm. These apartments produce over 23,000kWh of Green electricity per year and save over 26 tonnes of carbon from being released into the atmosphere every year!

Dandridge's Mill is a unique opportunity to enjoy modern living in a traditional environment, while protecting our past and investing in our future.

See www.HallidaysHydropower.com for more information about the Hydroscrew

Tours start at 12pm & 2pm , lasting approx. one hour (you want to make sure you are there for the beginning of the tour).   Why not combine this visit with ECOMILL to make the perfect bike ride from Faringdon? There will be a donations bucket with proceeds going to Water Aid. No need to book.
