Road trips UK

After a long time inside, it feels good to be able to plan holidays again and there's nothing better than a campervan trip with friends or family to renew your enthusiasm for getting out and about. There are so many options and whether you're looking for rolling hills and lakeside villages, seaside bliss, or big city fun a motorhome can be a great way to get around and create a base for UK adventures. Here's some inspiration if you're looking to plan a spring trip. 

Manchester and the Lakes

There's so much to do 'up north'. Base yourself in the The Lake District National Park where there  are a huge range of activities  - and with more than 3100 kms of rights of way, endless possibilities for walking, cycling or getting on the water. When you're ready for some city action, Manchester is the place to be. The city is a hive of culture, good food, theatre, bars and fascinating museums and historic buildings and it's worth ducking out to Liverpool and on to the coast too. 

Oxford and London

Just one hour outside the country’s biggest city is gorgeous Oxford with its rambling countryside, stunning architecture, eclectic retail and of course, world famous university. It's a great place to base yourself as it's only an hour to drive to the outskirts of London where you can take public transport to explore the vibrancy of one of the most exciting cities in the world. 

The South Coast

Cornwall is an incredible place for a motorhome holiday. Its 400 mile coastline has more great views, great surfing spots and English heritage than you could ever imagine having access to on one trip. Located on England’s rugged southwestern tip, it forms a peninsula encompassing wild moorland and hundreds of stunning beaches and the whole area is full of  picturesque harbour villages, perfect for exploring. 

So get planning, hire a motorhome, choose a UK region and plan that itinerary. Or if you're feeling truly spontaneous, just drive in a direction that takes your fancy and see what part of the UK you end up in. A campervan holiday gives you enormous freedom to explore, whether it be the highlands of Scotland, the fun and excitement of London, Manchester or Edinburgh or the easy pace of the dreamy South Coast, you’re guaranteed an easy, convenient and wonderful way to travel.
