Regenerative Eco Village
Developing the UK’s first regenerative settlement
Bowden Pillars Future are developing the UK’s first regenerative settlement in South Devon. Set on 120 acres of farmland.

Developed as a living system, the project brings together housing, food production, shared spaces and ecological restoration to support long-term resilience and wellbeing.
