There are a growing number of places to stay in the Yorkshire Dales which are working to develop their business in a way that celebrates, respects and conserves what’s so special about the Yorkshire Dales National Park. These places have been accredited by The Green Tourism Business Scheme and offer impeccable green credentials whilst offering you all the comfort you could ask for on your holidays and breaks.

The Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) is the leading sustainable tourism certification scheme in the UK which aims to promote businesses which care for the environment. Businesses are assessed by a qualified grading advisor against a rigorous set of criteria covering a range of areas, including energy and water efficiency, waste management, biodiversity and more to achieve a Gold, Silver or Bronze award.
