Our vision

Thoulstone Park is a revitalised hub for sustainability, regeneration and community.

Those who come will feel a sense of rejuvenation and connection with nature.

Ethos

Our Values

At Thoulstone Park, we are committed to sustainability and responsible resource management. We strive to minimise our environmental impact and support local businesses and organisations that share our values.

Sustainability

it requires mindful application of living and working such that  we strive not to take away from the environment, rather we aim to live in harmony and balance with it.

Regeneration

Where the ecology has been damaged due to mankind's intervention, we seek to accelerate the re-wildling of these areas through mixed broadleaf reforesting, sowing wild flowers and creating bodies of water

Community

Working with those who have sustainability at their core as well those that are curious about it whilst serving the local community.

We are looking ahead to a more sustainable future

A vibrant community hub, in the heart of Wiltshire, working together to provide a space to explore a greener future together.

Land: Aiming to regenerate the existing ecology having planted 50 acres of woodland which will sustain wildlife, promote inter-dependant ecosystems and create natural habitats.

People: for visitors, we hope to be able to spark their interest in Sustainability, heighten their curiosity in a playful manner, we hope to entertain them, nourish and feed them, and house them comfortably, offer spaces to work in, all while being close to nature.

Partners: we wish to attract businesses who can offer creative arts and activities, training and coaching for youngsters and groups, those involved in food production & preparation, organic farmers and perhaps golf course operators or foraging experts.
