Green holidays for visitors to Wales

Have an enjoyable and affordable holiday as well as helping conserve the unique natural environment of mid-Wales, by staying somewhere green.

Whether coming to enjoy activities or to have a more relaxing holiday, the majority of visitors who come on holiday to Wales appreciate the unspoiled natural environment. Recognising the need to conserve this, many visitors already choose to stay in green accommodation where there is a strong commitment to run their businesses sustainably. Many such businesses in mid Wales are improving their energy efficiency, recycling, water use and are aiming to reduce their negative impact on the environment as much as possible.

Below is a list of environmentally-friendly tourism-businesses in mid Wales, including green hotels, bed & breakfast and self-catering accommodation, places to eat sustainably as well as green activities to enjoy a green holiday.

All the businesses will have been graded by the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS). GTBS is a widely recognised and respected international green tourism standard, so visitors may be assured that all graded accommodation will have undergone regular, independent audits of their green credentials. Also, all business have achieved good "star" grading with either VisitWales or the AA.
