There are also ideas for eco-chic getaways at the UK's green and organic boutique hotels. There are details of cycle, bus and rail routes along with a comprehensive directory that covers places to stay, visit and eat, so wherever you go in the UK, an ecoescape is never far away. ecoescape was the Ecologist's 'Pick of the Month' in June and has appeared in the Guardian, Metro and the Observer.

Here's what our partners at Virgin Trains say:

"Here’s the thing. Sometimes we all feel about guilty about travelling these days, because we know there’s a cost to the world we love. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Some forms of travel are less harmful to the environment than others, and some are really rather friendly. For example, did you know that travelling by one of Virgin Train’s Pendolinos emits 76% less CO2 than an equivalent journey made by plane or car? Which means that you get to see new places and faces with none of the downsides.

That’s exactly what makes working with Ecoescape so brilliant. It inspires us all to have the time of our lives without damaging the planet while we do them. The guide and website have the low-down on everything green - from activities, to holidays, to places to eat. The only question is how are you going to get to enjoy them all? That is, of course, where we come in with dozens of stations, for you to choose from, on our network. And it needn’t cost the earth to see the world, in more ways than one.

Our Value Advance fares mean that if you book ahead you’ll make huge savings, particularly if you’re flexible on your times and can travel off-peak. There are loads of Value Advance fares available every weekday, so it should never be a problem to get hold of a couple. The great thing too is that if you travel by Virgin Trains the journey itself becomes part of the fun – play a game, read a book, listen to music – and just let the world slip by. So why not make guilt trips a thing of the past and get out and about on Virgin Trains? You know it makes sense."
