Hockerton Housing Project
The Hockerton Housing Project is the UK’s first (and almost only) earth sheltered housing development. It is a remarkable place, not only because of the five houses which are built into the side of a hill and are almost zero energy but also because of the water collection off the land behind the houses, the treatment of sewage through a wetlands system, the wind energy generators and their local transport systems. They do excellent tours around the place and are extending their skills into a wider community.
