Here you’ll find a selection of holidays that can help you choose a holiday that can help reduce your carbon footprint. Whether you choose to travel by train or boat rather than flying, or you take a UK-based holiday and shun your car for public transport instead, the people behind these holidays have gone that extra mile to help you choose more environmentally friendly methods of transport.


So enjoy the ride and keep in mind T.S. Eliot’s advice: ‘the journey not the arrival matters’. Read our stance on transport
