Since launching in 2001, the Eden Project has transformed a disused china clay pit near St Austell, Cornwall, into a world-renowned attraction with sustainability at its core. Originally created to protect and conserve important and endangered plants, the site combines epic outdoor exploration with interactive education and even a new geothermal energy project.
