Travelling on the Royal Train, which runs on biofuel, Charles will visit Edinburgh, Carmarthen, Bristol, Newcastle, Todmorden, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham and London.
The five–day tour will visit projects such as a community–run city farm in Newcastle and a grow–your–own scheme in Yorkshire. The Duchess of Cornwall will join the tour for the Bristol and London legs.
The tour is part of the Prince’s Start initiative, a scheme to celebrate sustainable living. It begins in Glasgow on September 6.
