We’re really pleased to hear we’ve been featured in The Green Traveller. A book about conscious, low carbon adventures and eco travel in the UK, Europe and beyond.
Here at Wayfarers we try to be as eco as possible by offering electric car charging, secure bike storage and tools for fixing up your bike, lots of local info about getting around on public transport and we recycle!
Our copy is on our way and will be a welcome addition to our library 🙂
