The aim of Good Journey is to help people enjoy a day out, while still being green and ditching cars for bikes, walking, or public transport.
Some discounts include the Bridgerton Tour of Bath - as long as you arrive car-free.
The tour starts in Bath city centre at the Ale House on York Street, about 5 minutes' stroll from Bath Spa train station - so there are lots of ways to get there.
There are frequent buses from around Bath and Bristol.
Tickets for adult admission are £19.50 - but you get 20 per cent off if you arrive on foot or by public transport.
For anyone wanting to get some good views up the Heights of Abraham cable car in Derbyshire, you can get £5 off if travelling by bus or train.
You can save on all four Diggerland parks with Good Journey and get 25 per cent off on the day tickets (excluding in July and August).
All you need to do is use the website, book a valid train ticket and print out a voucher.
Speaking to the Mirror, Good Journey's founder and director Nat Taplin, and newly appointed CEO Louise Dando said: 'We believe everyone should have access to culture, leisure and nature, without needing a car.
"We want every visitor attraction in the UK to welcome people by train, bus, bike, and foot and to give everyone the confidence to choose to travel car-free for their leisure time."

They continued: "We believe the 'getting there' can and should be part of the whole day-out adventure. Travelling by train or bus in the company of friends and family, or wheeling and walking can be part of the experience itself."

Inside doomed Boeing plane that crashed into horror fireball on way to UK
A plane bound for London's Gatwick Airport has crashed into a residential area of Ahmedabad, western India, shortly after sending a final 'Mayday' message Horrifying footage shows the smouldering wreckage of a plane bound for London's Gatwick Airport, which exploded into a fireball visible for miles around. Air India Flight AI171 lost signal and crashed into a residential area of Ahmedabad, western India, just five minutes after takeoff from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. In a new statement confirming who was onboard, Air India said: "The flight, which departed from Ahmedabad at 1338 hrs, was carrying 242 passengers and crew members on board the Boeing 787-8 aircraft. Of these, 169 are Indian nationals, 53 are British nationals, one Canadian national and seven Portuguese nationals. At the time of writing, the number of casualties has not yet been confirmed but those injured "are being taken to the nearest hospitals". According to Flight Radar, the plane reached a height of 625 feet before descending with a vertical speed of -475 feet per minute. It had been expected to touch down at Gatwick at 6.25 pm this evening. It's understood that today's "tragic accident" marks the first time that a Boeing 787 Dreamliner has been involved in a major crash, according to the Aviation Safety Network database. The aircraft was first introduced in 2009, and in that time, more than 1,000 have been delivered to dozens of airlines, Flightradar24 states, with no fatalities. This is also a popular holiday airline, often used by companies such as TUI. The exact plane that crashed - the 2GPDDAK Air India Boeing 787-8 VT-ANP - has regularly flown between India and destinations such as Paris, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Amsterdam, and Melbourne. Shortly after departing from runway 23, the plane reportedly gave a "mayday" call, indicating an emergency situation. But it then fell silent. Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, director general of India's Directorate of Civil Aviation, told Associated Press that the crash happened in the Meghani Nagar area at 1.38 pm local time (9.08 am BST). Kinjarapu Ram Mohan Naidu, India's aviation minister, said: "We are on highest alert. I am personally monitoring the situation and have directed all aviation and emergency response agencies to take swift and coordinated action. "Rescue teams have been mobilised, and all efforts are being made to ensure medical aid and relief support are being rushed to the site. My thoughts and prayers are with all those on board and their families." Meanwhile, Air India's chairman, N Chandrasekaran, has issued the following statement: "With profound sorrow I confirm that Air India Flight 171 operating Ahmedabad London Gatwick was involved in a tragic accident today. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of all those affected by this devastating event. "At this moment, our primary focus is on supporting all the affected people and their families. We are doing everything in our power to assist the emergency response teams at the site and to provide all necessary support and care to those impacted. "Further updates will be shared as we receive more verified information. An emergency centre has been activated and support team have been set up for families seeking information." This is a developing story.

British tourists shun Spanish resort, leaving it eerily empty as other Europeans take over
Miguel Perez-Marsa, president of the island's ABONE nightclub and entertainment association, has said business is booming in the German-popular party resort of Playa de Palma but Brits are being demonised A popular Spanish holiday island typically thronged with British tourists has been photographed looking eerily deserted. Miguel Perez-Marsa, president of the island's ABONE nightclub and entertainment association, recently told local media that business is thriving in the German-favourite party hotspot of Playa de Palma, near the Majorcan capital. However, he claimed that young Brits are increasingly shunning Magaluf, an area once dominated by British holidaymakers during the summer season, suggesting that they have been "demonised." On Wednesday, dozens of beach sun loungers lay vacant as thousands of Spanish teenagers from Valencia, celebrating the end of their school exams, descended upon the resort. Some bar owners even admitted to adjusting their opening hours to accommodate the changing demographics of their clientele, reports the Mirror. According to Mr Perez-Marsa, the void left by the departing British tourists is being filled by French and Italian visitors, who tend to drink less and spend less on nightlife than their UK counterparts. He further alleged that British youngsters, who have traditionally flocked to Magaluf's vibrant Punta Ballena party strip, have been "steam-rollered" by the island authorities. Additionally, Mr Perez-Marsa noted an increase in British families visiting Magaluf, but lamented that they often opt for all-inclusive packages, resulting in reduced spending outside of their hotels. Magaluf's notorious party hotspot faced scrutiny when Majorca's then-top politician, Jose Ramon Bauza, branded Punta Ballena "500 metres of shame". The condemnation followed a distressing incident involving an 18 year old girl duped into performing sex acts for what was promised to be a free holiday but turned out to be a cocktail dubbed 'Holiday'. Steep fines up to £50,000 were enforced on tourists involved in balcony jumping, and limitations imposed on alcohol provision with meals at all-inclusive hotels in areas like Magaluf via a regional government ordinance aimed at curbing 'drunken tourism', instituted five years prior. The previous year witnessed even harsher crackdowns, with £1,300 fines for public drinking and obligatory night-time closures for shops selling alcohol in specific zones of Magaluf. Despite these measures, British holidaymakers continue to constitute a substantial portion of Magaluf's and, more extensively, Majorca's visitor economy. Each year, the island greets over 2.3 million British visitors, which represents nearly 26% of total tourist numbers. Germans still claim the lion's share with over 3.4 million visitors or 40% of the total, followed by approximately 340,000 Scandinavians, 238,000 French nationals, 160,000 Swiss, and 136,000 Irish. Calvia's Mayor, Juan Antonio Amengual, affirmed last year that "all Brits are welcome" in Magalluf. Addressing concerns of 'tourismphobia' due to conduct issues with some tourists – unequivocally not the majority - he maintained: "We want people to enjoy their holidays with respect between tourists and residents." Magaluf is on the western coast of Majorca. It has less than 4,000 permanent residents.

Ditch Cornwall for my seaside county this summer – we get less rain, an earlier sunrise… and we actually want tourists
Avoid cramming into Cornwall or scrambling into Suffolk this Summer - choose Norfolk and escape the chaos SEASIDE SECRETS Ditch Cornwall for my seaside county this summer – we get less rain, an earlier sunrise… and we actually want tourists Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVERYONE might be heading to Cornwall this summer for their summer staycation - but my English county is a much better option. Born and raised in Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, my teenage summers were spent eating chips on the quay and hosting beach parties with my friends. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 12 My home county is a much better option that Cornwall Credit: Alamy 12 I remember running down to the beach after school to catch the sunset I've since travelled the world, from Iceland to California, yet nothing compares to the sunsets I've seen from my bedroom window in Norfolk. Not only does it get less rain than Cornwall (which is actually one of the UK's wettest regions) but we get a much earlier sunrise and we want tourists to visit. The vast open space makes our skies clear and full of stars, and I've even caught a glimpse of the Northern Lights from Brancaster harbour. From discovering secluded beaches to trying just about every fish and chip shop along the coast, I've put together the perfect guide to my home county to show you why Norfolk is the best place to spend your summer in the UK. The Best of Beaches When it comes to beach days in Norfolk, we're truly spoilt for choice. Away from the packed and pebbled beaches of the south coast, here you'll find stretches of golden sand that go on for miles. If you're looking for a slice of private paradise, the beach at Holme is my favourite spot hands-down. As the masses flock to Sheringham and Cromer, the dunes of Holme are only visited by the odd dog-walker and locals in the know. Nearby Thornham beach is equally as beautiful, and often even more quiet. The walk down to the shore through the pine forest and into the marshes is long but scenic, perfect for those seeking seclusion. It usually takes about 20 minutes to walk from the main road down to the sea, but you'll soon realise the walk is worth it once you have the whole stretch of sand to yourself! Pretty Norfolk coastline has sea lions and award-winning beaches- 12 The dunes at Holme stretch for miles - and you often have the place to yourself! Credit: Getty 12 The Norfolk Coast Path takes you through 84 miles of scenic sands Credit: Getty 12 The marshes on the way down to Thornham make the walk worthwhile Credit: Getty Another way to take in the views of Norfolk's Blue Flag beaches is to walk the famous Norfolk Coast Path (or at least a section of it, unless you fancy walking 84 miles from Hunstanton to Hopton-on-Sea)! Smack bang in the middle of the Coast Path you'll find the White Horse in Brancaster-Staithe. You'll spot their Marshside bar from the path, the perfect pit-stop for a pint on your journey. Soak up the Sights It may be named England's 'flattest county', but Norfolk's wide and sandy coastline makes for some of the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen. For the most breathtaking of views, you'll want to catch the sunset from Hunstanton Cliffs. It's the only spot on the East coast that faces West, so it's the perfect place to park up and watch the sun dipping into the sea. My personal favourite way to watch the sunset is out on the sea in Burnham Overy Staithe. 12 The beach at Old Hunstanton is still one of my favourite spots to show my friends Credit: Jenna Stevens 12 Bring your own, rent one or join a tour - paddleboarding is a great way to see Norfolk on the water Credit: Jenna Stevens Take a stand-up paddleboard (or take a lesson with North Norfolk Paddleboards from £48) and get out onto the marshes for a truly magical way to view the sunset on the water. Alternatively, if you watch from Cley or Blakeney point, you might see a seal or two pop up to join you! If you want to get up close and personal with the local seals, take a trip with Beans Seal Trips from Morston Quay to visit them out on the sandbanks. The trips run every day from April through to October, and cost £20 per adult or £10 per child (pre-booking is essential, they're very popular!) 12 Common seals and grey seals are dotted all along the North Norfolk coastline Credit: Getty Fun for all the Family Not only do we have stunning nature here in Norfolk, but there's plenty of family-friendly attractions to keep the kids happy on your holiday. Our coastline is dotted with picturesque seaside towns from Heacham to Cromer, packed with traditional arcades and endless activities. I grew up bowling at Hunstanton Pier, and endlessly trying to win a giant Hello Kitty teddy at the Pop Inn Amusements in Wells (spoiler alert: she's now sat on my bed). If you're bringing the kids, visit Hunstanton to explore the aquarium and meet Ernie the green sea turtle, or try your hand at the Aztec-themed crazy golf on the promenade. Crabbing on the quay at Wells-next-the-Sea is a must on your trip to North Norfolk, and if you're feeling brave, visit the next town along, Holkham, for their action-packed ropes course. 12 The coastal charm of ice cream parlours and amusements makes Norfolk the perfect pick for a traditional British holiday Credit: Getty Top Food and Drink In Norfolk you'll be spoilt for choice for the best bites to eat. From award-winning fish and chips to delicious stonebaked pizza, I've ticked just about every coastal restaurant off the list. My top pick for traditional fish and chips has to be French's in Wells-next-the-Sea. There's a historic rivalry between the two quayside chippies, French's and Plattens, but French's takes the cake with its fresh fish and tasty new potatoes. You'll see lines out the door during peak times, so it's best to pop in early to avoid the queues. 12 French's fish and chips - I promise they're worth the wait! Credit: Getty I usually go just before midday - the queue that forms in the early afternoon often runs all the way into the evening. If you can't decide what you fancy, head to Thornham's Drove Orchards. Here you'll find a variety of restaurants and pop-ups, so you can mix and match whatever you please. Stop by Eric's pizza for a traditional margherita in a unique Yurt, or pop into Mim's for a scoop of gelato after a day of lounging in the sun. My favourite part about living in Norfolk is how dog-friendly we are. A large majority of our pubs and cafés welcome dogs, so there's no need to leave your furry friend at home. 12 The Rose and Crown is a classic and cosy British pub serving excellent local food Credit: If you're looking for a solid pub with great food where you can bring your pet along, the Rose and Crown in Snettisham has a dog-friendly bar and restaurant, as well as a cosy, walled beer garden. But perhaps my favourite corner of the coast is Old Hunstanton Beach Café. After letting the dog run wild on the beach, you can stop by for a great full English and a cup of tea. But the best part is their dog wall of fame, where you can pin a picture of your four-legged friend to remember your trip together.
