We want to be as green as our logo because taking care of the environment is an essential part of what we do. We do everything we can to keep the outdoors looking fresh. Some of our buildings are purpose-built using sustainable materials and processes. They’re in locations easy to get to by public transport, and their proximity to natural wonders inspires us all to protect the environment for future generations. We were founded on a love of the great outdoors. In the modern world of environmentally conscious travelling, we aim to be at the lead of eco-tourism. Here are some of our most exciting eco-friendly breaks in the UK.
YHA Eskdale
Situated on the edge of one of the Lake District’s most awe-inspiring wilderness areas, YHA Eskdale is a hidden gem. The hostel has reduced its carbon footprint massively because of providing renewable heat and electricity through the use of a biomass boiler and solar panels. There’s even a wildlife trail and a nature hide on the grounds if you fancy doing some birdwatching.
