We're delighted to announce that greentraveller.co.uk is now featuring a new exclusive range of beautiful and quirky places to stay, glampsites and other luxury campsites in the UK.

The unique collection, known as 'Canopy & Stars', features a range of luxury campsites and unique places to stay - from yurts to treehouses - in some of the loveliest corners of the country, including a gypsy caravan in Cornwall, an eccentric yurt camp in Somerset, a handcrafted wagon in Wiltshire, a beautiful wooden lakeside lodge in the Lake District and yurts in the Cairngorms, Scotland.

All of the places have been created by imaginative owners with great passion and commitment. Wherever possible all the spaces and all the detailing are sustainably and ethically sourced and made in the UK.

Tom Dixon, of Canopy & Stars, says: "We're delighted to be working with greentraveller.co.uk. It's a fantastic place to find green holidays from the luxurious to more rustic 'back to nature' escapes. We share many of the same values and so it's a natural place for us to be. Canopy & Stars' special collection of hand picked, quirky and beautiful places fit in perfectly and we're looking forward to helping green travellers discover wonderful sustainable holiday experiences in 2011."
