Why choose Cheltenham for your road trip

Cheltenham — a city worth exploring

Cheltenham's Regency architecture lines over 60 streets of elegant townhouses, making it one of the most complete Regency towns in England. Nestled on the western edge of the Cotswolds, this spa town offers a compelling mix of culture, green spaces and festivals throughout the year. The Cheltenham Racecourse, home to the famous Gold Cup each March, draws visitors from across the country, while the Holst Birthplace Museum celebrates the composer of The Planets suite. Stroll through Imperial Gardens or explore the independent shops along the Promenade, widely regarded as one of the finest tree-lined boulevards in the country. Pittville Park, the largest ornamental park in Cheltenham, surrounds the striking Pittville Pump Room where you can still taste the town's original spa waters. For a change of scenery, Gloucester is just 14 km to the west, with its magnificent cathedral, and the market town of Cirencester sits 24 km to the south-east at the heart of the Cotswolds. The surrounding countryside is ideal for touring by campervan, with rolling hills, honey-coloured villages and quiet lanes to discover at your own pace. A motorhome gives you the freedom to park up and explore places like Sudeley Castle or Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners in the Cheltenham area, which means a personal welcome, insider tips and a peer-to-peer approach that keeps costs fair for everyone.

Best time to visit

Cheltenham comes alive during festival season, with the Cheltenham Literature Festival in October and the renowned Cheltenham Jazz Festival each spring drawing enthusiastic crowds. March is a highlight too, when the Gold Cup meeting fills the racecourse and the town buzzes with energy. Summer months are ideal for campervan touring through the Cotswolds, with long daylight hours and plenty of campsite availability nearby. For quieter roads and easier parking, consider visiting in early autumn. With Yescapa, you can often find better hire rates outside peak weekends, thanks to flexible pricing set by local owners in the Cheltenham area.

Where to park your motorhome

Cheltenham offers several options for parking larger vehicles. The town centre has height restrictions on many multi-storey car parks, so plan ahead if you are driving a motorhome or high-top campervan. Overnight parking on public roads is generally permitted unless signage states otherwise, but always check local restrictions. Dedicated areas on the outskirts provide more space and easier access for bigger vehicles.

  • Cheltenham Racecourse Park and Ride, 2km north — Large open car park with no height barriers, well suited to motorhomes. Regular bus service into the town centre.
  • Regent Arcade Car Park, Adjacent to the city — Central location but has a 2.1 m height restriction. Suitable for smaller campervans only.

We absolutely loved our time in the caddy! Everything was great, from the collection, the functionality and the communication. The van is small but mighty, the owners have thought of every little detail (sink, shower, storage, kitchen, and a good sized comfy bed). We highly recommend using Yescapa and hiring this van- perfect for your dolomites adventure!

5 / 5

Both Jesus and Susana were very communicative and made the rental process very easy. The van is basically new in very good condition and easy to handle. It was fun cooking in remote places having a beautiful view and having a large fridge really helped to keep all cool and fresh. We had a nice time with it and would certainly recommend it to others.
