  • Ruby Ride and Read 3 November 2011
    Welcome to the autumn edition of Ruby Ride and Read, the newsletter of Ruby Country Partnership Ltd and Ride the Ruby Country. It seems such a short time ago I was putting the last edition together. Time has flown past and a lot has happened. Read on to find out more. We hope you find this newsletter informative. Ride the Ruby Country update It seems like I started work on Ride the Ruby Country only a few days ago but I have now been in post for over a year. It is incredible really to think how the project has progressed since my first day. Ride the Ruby Country is a joint partnership between Ruby Country Partnership and Devon County Council designed to improve access to recreational and business opportunities, through the investment being made to create new multi-use trails and improve existing networks. My role is to work with local people and help them understand and realise the potential of the arising opportunities. This has been a rewarding journey so far bringing me in to contact with many interesting and enterprising people. For example, I attended the official opening of Evergreen Farm’s new farm shop. The event was well supported by local people and I was delighted to talk with a cyclist who popped in whilst passing. The man had cycled from Bude and had no idea there was a conveniently placed business where he could stop and partake of refreshments. It just goes to show that people do visit Ruby Country and appreciate the small businesses ideally located for their convenience.

  • North Devon's Biosphere Reserve Eco-Museum Concept Ppt
    9th of October 2012 Eco-museum Concept North Devon’s Biosphere Reserve 9th of October 2012 Eco-museum: what is it? An Eco-museum is a network of already existing sites (museums, attractions, activities, places) focused on the identity of a place, largely based on local participation and aiming to enhance the welfare and development of local communities. The Eco-museum can then be defined as a "museum made by the Community for the Community ", as the first users of this museum are just the inhabitants of the locality. It is a celebration of the past, an introduction to the present and a project for the future of the local community. The objective of the Eco-museum is to provide space where the community can research his recent or remote past, putting the spotlight, not only the objects of everyday life, but also landscapes, architecture, ancient knowledge and oral traditions . In fact, it also deals with the promotion of educational activities and research focusing on the direct involvement of the whole population and local institutions. There are presently about 300 operating Eco-museums in the world; about 200 are in Europe, mainly in France, Italy, Spain, and Poland1. The Eco-museum can be developed in different ways, for example: - there are Eco-museums comprising one museum where local information and archives are available for researches. Two examples are: Easdalemuseum (exhibits) and Kilmartin House Museum (exhibits and research library) - open air museums, like Skye Eco-museum and Dunaskin Open Air Museum in Scotland, Beamish Open- air museum in England - spread into the area with one big point of attraction, a world heritage site designated by UNESCO and focused around one theme such as Ironbridge & Pennine.

In this edition we will be; introducing the new look Ruby Country Partnership announcing the new Ruby Rides trails guides looking at planned offerings from Ruby Country reporting on the South West Christmas Equine Fair encouraging you to visit the new Ruby Country Market updating on the Ride the Ruby Country project and looking ahead A new look for Ruby Country Ruby Country has a new image. We have been working on this for a while and have a new logo, around which our future identity will be built. The Ruby Red cow, our old logo, has served Ruby Country well but the time has come for a change. We will always be associated with Ruby and we will always be Ruby Country. The story of Ruby is an important one and we will continue to tell it with pride We asked for a new logo to be designed to embody Ruby Country. We asked for many things to be represented; landscape, nature, wildlife, water, earth, business, communities, escape and adventure. We asked for the logo to suggest wind, to echo our strap line “A breath of fresh air”. We asked for the logo to be inclusive, attractive and progressive. We also felt we should strengthen our ties within Devon. We think the designed achieved all of these aspirations and has also created something organic. We are really pleased with the results. Welcome to the new Ruby Country! New Ruby Rides trail guides We are really pleased to announce that the Ruby Rides trail guides are now ready.
