Michelle, with an MSc in Environmental Sustainability, wanted to create a retirement project that exemplified her passion for conservation and biodiversity. Their dedication to preserving the local ecosystem has resulted in the creation of a flourishing woodland habitat, recognised by the coveted Green Tourism Gold Award earlier in 2023.<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-31230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.green-tourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1-544x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.green-tourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1-544x800.jpg 544w, https:\/\/www.green-tourism.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Picture1.jpg 639w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Kevin and Michelle\u2019s commitment to local sourcing is reflected in their selection of beers, ciders, wines and spirits, which features exclusively Devon-based small and artisan producers. Moreover, guests are treated to home-cooked delights for breakfast and dinner, showcasing the region&#8217;s culinary delights.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Wray Valley&#8217;s newest development is the Sustainability Trail, an informative and engaging experience designed to educate visitors on their eco-friendly practices and inspire others to embrace sustainability in their daily lives. Open to day-visitors by appointment, as well as campers and B&amp;B guests, the trail promises to enlighten and entertain.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">As a Gold winner, Wray Valley will be nominated for the Visit England Awards for Excellence 2025 in the same category. The team eagerly anticipates the opportunity to represent Devon&#8217;s thriving tourism industry on the national stage, while continuing to promote ethical, responsible, and sustainable practices within the sector.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Wray Valley, a small B&amp;B and campsite nestled in 10 acres of temperate broadleaved woodland on Dartmoor, is thrilled to announce its success at the prestigious Devon Tourism Awards.
