Green Guide's Eco Escape - UK

In the UK there are some of the most inspiring people and places that you will find anywhere in the world. It just takes some fresh eyes and a new mindset to enjoy them. For this inspirational and practical guide, we’ve found fifty of the best ecoescapes from around the UK. These handpicked experiences are sustainable from start to finish. The author, Laura Burgess, travelled slowly and has included details of her cycle, bus and rail routes so readers can do the same.

“ecoescape aims to encourage a rediscovery of landscape, attractions, foods and dwellings closer to home. It promotes alternatives to flying to encourage travellers to tread gently as they go.”
Laura Burgess

ecoescape: United Kingdom is a 208-page, full-colour travel guide to the greenest places to escape to in the UK. Each of the featured fifty ecoescapes includes the author’s personal review, inspiring photography and full contact details, plus advice on how to get there slowly. There is also a comprehensive directory that covers places to stay, visit and eat, so wherever you go in the UK, an ecoescape is never far away.

The art of Slow Travel
The art of slow travel involves using our cars less and avoiding flying. Instead we take the train, the bus or the boat and use our bikes and our legs more. Each ecoescape book comes complete with a Slow Travel Toolkit which shows the reader how to enjoy travelling slowly and in the process discover a new way of taking a holiday.

The first in a new series
ecoescape: United Kingdom is the first in a new series of travel guides that celebrate escapism and holidays that are closer to home. May 2008 sees the publication of ecoescape: Ireland and September sees ecoescape: Islands of Britain and ecoescape: Budgets and Backpacks. In 2009, there will be four more ecoescapes, including our first foray overseas to France. But we’ll only be getting across the Channel by ferry or train as no flights are allowed!
