A 12th century estate, restored to its previous grandeur, The Nunnery is one of the Island’s most historic establishments. Our vision is to create a place where old embraces new. History embraces modernity and traditionalism embraces innovation and technology.
The Nunnery is striving to be an exemplar nature conservation site by protecting our natural resources through tree species preservation and re-foresting previously grazed areas with the planting of new trees and allowing Manx wildflowers to germinate in the meadows.
We strive to make our environmental impact positive by continually improving our energy conservation. This is achieved through water-saving taps, solar lighting, and measures taken throughout all the buildings to curb unnecessary heating and light wastage, via motion-detecting lights and not heating unoccupied areas of these buildings. Recycling is taken seriously with an operational re-cycling hub for the estate’s usage. Speed limits are observed for the protection and safety of people, small animals and birds.
With a strong belief in the concept of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts, core to our mission is the strength of the ‘Collective’ to unleash potential and possibility. Partnerships are being established with local schools and specific interest groups and organisations, such as Manx BirdLife, Isle of Man Fungus Group, Manx Bat Group. We are on a learning path with the experts from these respected groups on how better to protect and enrich our natural fauna and flora.
