Shining a light on flight-free holidays and travel that can have a positive impact on nature conservation and local economic empowerment
Welcome to the latest issue of our online magazine The Green Traveller –
the magazine of our website greentraveller.co.uk.
You’ll hopefully find lots of inspiration in this issue, from wild swimming in Extremadura (p16) and cycling among the vineyards of Nouvelle-Aquitaine (p22) to a collection of green places to go in the UK (p9) and an inspiring feature on community-based conservation holidays by seasoned travel and experienced travel writer Meera Dattani (p32).
One of the highlights of this year has been a trip I went on with my family by train to the Haute Alpes for an action-packed multi-activity holidays in this lesser-known mountainous region of France (p26).
Keep an eye out for the flight-free and positive impact icons throughout the magazine that distinguish between those trips that can be reached overland with those that bring genuine benefits to destinations through nature conservation, local community empowerment and humanitarian aid.
Happy Green Travelling,
Richard Hammond
Editor, The Green Traveller Magazine
