Greener Ways to Get Away

26 September, 2025

Have you ever thought about the climate impact of traveling to your getaway – even if it doesn’t include a flight? Or how a few small choices, like skipping the car, could reduce the emissions tied to your travel? 

Companies like Unyoked and Canopy & Stars are here to change that. As well as offering accommodation that is low impact – think digital detox cabins, forest hideaways, camping and glamping – they’re also making it easier (and financially rewarding) to choose greener ways to get to them. 

This comes to life as guidance around the best options – as well as money off for those who take them up. You get £75 off for your greener choices from Canopy & Stars, which also offers a Green Travel Collection, a curated list of stays reachable by public transport, often with a cosy pub or shop within walking distance. Unyoked provides clear, easy-to-follow information for car-free travel to each of their cabins, right on their website.  

And with tools like Good Journey, going car-free has never been easier. 

Forward-thinking travel brands are reimagining how we holiday, with the planet in mind. Not with guilt-trips, but with real incentives that make greener travel easier and more affordable.  

Because the journey should matter just as much as the destination!
