Lammas: Britain's first eco-village - Telegraph

Scattered across an emerald green sweep of Pembrokeshire countryside are a handful of rustic-looking dwellings: some have turf roofs, others smoothly sculpted cob walls; finely wrought hinges adorn massive wooden doors and the comforting smell of wood smoke rises from stove chimneys. Fat hens scratch for grubs and grain and children have the run of the land, climbing trees and making dens.

This is Lammas eco-village, Britain's first low-impact, genuinely low emissions settlement, on track to provide three quarters of its inhabitants' food, water and energy needs from its own land and about to celebrate its second birthday since winning planning permission.
