When it comes to the UK’s eco attractions you’re spoilt for choice. Go wild swimming in Snowdonia, drive the Causeway Coastal Route in Northern Ireland and visit rewilding conservation projects in Scotland. You’ll find teeming wildlife habitats and ancient volcanic landscapes, innovative eco-centres and entire archipelagos powered by sustainable energy. Here are just some of the UK’s top eco attractions and activities. What’s more, they’re all located close enough to an electric ChargePoint, so why not gain green credentials by driving there with an Electric Vehicle (EV)?
For the definitive guide for any green holiday in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, look out for the new Rough Guide to Green Britain and Northern Ireland guidebook.
