Sustainable Travel on the Great West Way

Did you know that you can travel the Great West Way route by bike, foot, boat, car or public transport? There are so many ways to focus on sustainable travel between Bristol and London!

To minimise the environmental impact of your trip, you might like to consider staying at accommodation providers with electric-car charging points, or walking or cycling parts of the route. You could also use the Great Western Railway as an affordable, convenient and eco-friendly way to get around using the Great West Way Discoverer pass.
