3 Trees Glamping

3 Trees Glamping pod
3 Trees Glamping

Situated on the edge of Wirksworth this glamping site has four ensuite glamping pods, each with mains facilities.

A £25k Business Development Grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council helped fund the completion and fitting out of the fourth pod, the purchase of a new mower and the building of an onsite shop, leading to the business taking on its first full time employee. An addition £10,098 Decarbonisation Grant has enabled the installation of a 27-panel solar system which will enable the business to rely entirely on renewable energy.

Sarah and Paul Wood (Directors) say:

The Business Development Grant from Derbyshire Dales District Council enabled us to increase our capacity so much quickerr. The site is much improved with the adition of the shop and the new mower . The Decarbonisation Grant has enabled us to be carbon neutral and pay less for the energy used on site. its a definite win for the environment and the business.
