Ilam ''(pronounced "Eye-lam")'' is a village in the Staffordshire Peak District, lying on the River Manifold. == Ilam village == Ilam is best known as the location of the neo-Gothic Ilam Hall, a stately home built in the 1820s, and now a youth hostel owned by the National Trust. It is set in large parklands that are open to visitors. Ilam is about 4 miles from Ashbourne at the entrance to the scenic Manifold Valley. Ilam is very picturesque, with its "Swiss chalet" style houses and matching school house. It also lies close to the popular Dovedale valley. While most of the buildings in the village are from the past two centuries, Ilam dates from Saxon times or earlier. Recently the village has attracted praise for its commitment to eco- friendly policies.〔Sunday Telegraph 22 July 2007 2, 406 pC12〕 Ilam became the first community in the United Kingdom to phase out incandescent light bulbs, cutting annual carbon emissions by 4 tonnes. The initiative was part of the Ilam Climate Change Project, supported by the Marches Energy Agency.〔(GreenBuilding Magazine )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ilam, Staffordshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
