Environmental Sustainability

At Antrim Castle Gardens clean air and green fingers go hand in hand! A number of innovative design elements contributing to environmental and ecological sustainability have been incorporated:

• Use of a Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) on the main and peripheral car parks

• Nature roof on the Eyre Studio to improve air quality around the building and reduce airborne pollutants

• Measures to protect wildlife species and their habitats including the integration of swift nesting boxes and bat roosts; within buildings

• Rainwater harvesting from building structures for re-use in garden irrigation

• Use of biomass energy for heating systems, reducing harmful CO2 emissions
