Tipi Valley
The oldest and arguably the most ’hippy’ of the UK’s intentional (perhaps) eco-communities since being established in 1976. It is located in deeply rural Wales. Links here to an interesting and pretty honest article in ‘Huck magazine about the diverse range of folk who live in the valley. In the article, Sarah Bentley suggests,
“After spending time at Tipi Valley, I’m struck by the variety of lifestyles, dwellings and characters harmoniously housed within it. From yogis holed up in tents on three-year retreats to families living in farmhouses running renowned tipi-building businesses and festivals such as The Big Green Gathering, it’s all here with no hard or fast protocol.”
