Now you have read about Ryanair’s free flight offer and turned away in disgust, you will need an idea for a more earth friendly holiday this summer. Obviously flying abroad is out of the question. Why not stay in Britain this summer? We are being promised a glorious summer this year. You could leave the car at home and take a train to the Yorkshire Dales and stay at one of Dales Holiday’s Eco lodges.
The Eco lodges are located a mile from the market town of Richmond in Swaledale and are close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The lodges are set in 50 acres of private woodland and meadow.
The lodges are luxurious, yet built to the most exacting green standards. They are made with timber from sustainable woodlands, have natural sedum plant based roofs and use all green sourced electricity. The surrounding countryside offers numerous activities such as fell walking, mountain biking and fishing. Looks like a great way to get away from the stress of work and city life without compromising on the luxuries we are used to. They even allow you to bring a pet.
