Visitors' Centre, Reservoir Cafe and The Rangers' Office.
We are extremely lucky to have solar panels providing us with electricity. The centre was made into a "Solar House" through partnership between the Council and market leaders in solar power.
People are welcome to come and see for themselves how solar power works. There is also an exhibition on solar power to allow people to become better informed on the subject.
In November of 2005 the visitor centre welcomed, with open arms, the addition of a micro wind turbine, providing the visitors' centre with more clean and renewable electricity. This project was created through partnership working between Daventry District Council and "Windsave".
This is the first project of its kind across the whole country. Information on similar turbines for domestic use can be found at the visitors' centre, or from David Malone at Daventry District Council.
The centre provides information on local events and tourist attractions. We also provide information on healthy living energy efficiency and conservation.
