Green Tourism in Worcestershire
Worcestershire is a great green tourism destination. There
is an excellent public transport network as well as the National Cycle Network (NCN) linking
Worcestershire to the rest of the UK in an environmentally friendly
way.
If you are looking for a green holiday destination or a place to
spend an eco rural break then Worcestershire is a great place to
visit. Amongst our many environmentally friendly accommodation
providers who advertise with us we have some businesses taking it
one step further to provide a full green experience via
accreditation in the Green Tourism Business
Scheme (GTBS).

Worcestershire also has some fantastic cafes and restaurants
serving locally produced food and drink such as
The Orchard Cafe,
The Fleece Inn (National Trust),
The Fold Eco Cafe and
Holloways Greenhouse Cafe
The Worcestershire Green Code
Where we go and whatever we do, we have an impact. Make positive
choices and you can help us care for Worcestershire and make that
impact a positive one.
- Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
In Worcestershire
we recycle! You can help us by refusing packaging and bags you
don't need and using the recycling banks you'll find in many places
across the county. Reusable cotton shopping bags are available from
the Tourist Information Centres in Bewdley and Worcester. And if
you can recycle where you're staying – please do. Even better!

- Get out of the car!
Walking, cycling and
riding are great ways to see the area without adding to traffic.
Use public transport if you need to travel to your start point, but
try exploring near to where you are staying – there are some
fantastic places to see right on your doorstep….just
