slow travel • green places to stay • local food and drink • eco days out

“Here is proof that green is no longer extreme. A thoroughly researched guide to lots of lovely, genuinely eco-friendly places to stay, from city centre hotels to rural retreats.” Richard Hammond, the Guardian's eco travel correspondent

"Extremely informative and amusing. Catherine sensitively conveys the dreams and commitment of Ireland's tourism providers who are doing their bit to make a difference. These are not just ecoescapes, they are great escapes." Miriam Donohoe, Editor, Irish Times Travel Supplement “Go”

"Thorough and well-researched, this book has unearthed some real gems and is a useful starting point for anyone looking to go green on the Emerald Isle." The Observer

ecoescape website & directory
The website offers news, stories and travellers tips as well as an online directory of environmentally friendly places to stay and visit. It’s also a meeting place for green travellers to raise awareness of sustainable travel in the UK and promote responsible escapism globally. Travellers are encouraged to share their stories and help fashion the new books. Their low carbon adventure can be in the UK or abroad – and the only rule is that it must not have involved flying.
