The roads and pathways at Geshaview
The underlying principle behind the Geshaview village has been an eco-friendly approach to its construction.
One example of this is the roads and pathways that meander around the village.
No tarmac or concrete, no kerbs, drains or gutters, no cars!
The materials used for the roads are from the nearby quarry and the construction takes into account the natural drainage of surface water.
In part one of a video series David Hollands gives an introduction to the roads and the thinking behind their construction.
For more information and a picture gallery of the village visit the Geshaview village website.

Bridge over the pond at Geshaview
Part of the landscaping at Geshaview has been the pond and traditional style bridge.
The pond is not only an attractive feature it also plays an important role in the village
water catchment system.
The bridge creates an idyllic location that is set to be the backdrop of a million photographs.
Built with reclaimed beams and designed in the traditional Bulgarian style, the bridge connects the main village to the forest townhouses and the forest edge.
As the pond matures during the autumn and winter, it will be stocked with fish, and, plants that are naturally found in the area will be slowly introduced.
