Poundbury Facts – Did you know…
- New Town
No ordinary town, it was the vision of King Charles, designed to enhance lives, be environmentally friendly and affordable – allowing locals to remain in the area a Construction began in 1993 to build 5,000 homes and a blueprint for the towns of the future. - Green Green Grass of Home
150 acres are designated for landscaping, parkland and farming, with 26,000 shrubs, 450 trees, grassed areas, play parks. There are also allotments, orchards and birdboxes throughout the town. - Got Gas
No drilling, no fossil fuels, the town’s gas comes from a joint effort between the town and local farmers producing 100% renewable bio-methane gas from organic crops. All homes are thermally efficient, requiring less heating and lower bills. Excess goes into the national grid, while the crops support bees, insects and other important wildlife. - Health & Wealth
Not only is this quiet, green revolution good for the town’s health, it’s attracting green companies and eco start-ups. There are over 200 businesses, providing enough jobs for over half the population. Over a third of them run by women. - Walk Don’t Vrum!
The town is designed to encourage walking and cycling. Clever planning means it’s easy to walk from one end of Poundbury to the other and always remain in well-lit areas. - In Good Taste
The town square (named after Charles’ grandmother, Queen Mother Square) hosts an annual Dorset Food Festival, raising the profile of local grub. Poundbury itself produces a number of award-winning local treats, including chocolate.
