Our Sustainability Commitments

We love Plas Dinam and as 5th generation owners we see ourselves as custodians of this amazing house and beautiful, unknown area of Wales. This historic country house has been nestled in the stunning Severn valley since 1873: we strive to minimise our impact on the environment to ensure that this welcoming home and beautiful scenery will be enjoyed for decades to come. Mid Wales is a beautiful part of the world and we believe strongly in investing in both the local economy and the local environment. The Davies family is responsible for around 4000 acres surrounding Plas Dinam, with an ethos of low intensity farming and encouraging and preserving wildness. Plas Dinam’s wildflower meadow is over 40 years old, it gets better every year with 52 species of flowers and grasses, along with all the insects and butterflies that these attract. There’s a broad range of tree species and we actively plant new trees in the grounds, much of the 13 acres of grounds is deciduous woodland. Some trees are remarkable and others ancient, 8 are registered as Champions in Powys and Wales, 1 is a British Champion! There are many bird species that nest in and around Plas Dinam, including the once threatened species, the Red Kite. Plas Dinam is heated via a biomass boiler which is fuelled by airdried woodchip harvested from the Dinam estate. The wood is collected from within a couple of miles from Plas Dinam and after drying for 2 seasons it is chipped into the store alongside the boiler. The woods are carefully managed and replanted. Thus this system is sustainable and carbon neutral. We recycle and reuse to reduce our carbon footprint and use local, independent eco-friendly wedding suppliers where possible. We use eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning products and skincare products. Plas Dinam’s electricity supply is 100% renewable energy. Keeping everything as eco-friendly is very important to us!
