Chester's city walls form the most complete circuit of Roman and medieval defences in Britain, stretching 3.2 km around the historic centre. Walking these walls, you pass landmarks like the Eastgate Clock — the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben — and look down over the unique Chester Rows, two-tiered medieval galleries of shops and restaurants found nowhere else in the world. The city sits on the River Dee, and a stroll along the Groves waterfront leads to the elegant Queen's Park Suspension Bridge. Chester Cathedral, founded as a Benedictine abbey in 1092, houses remarkable medieval carvings and a peaceful cloister garden. For families, Chester Zoo — the most visited zoo in the UK outside London — is just 5 km north of the centre. Beyond the city, the landscape opens up beautifully for touring: Snowdonia National Park lies 80 km to the west, while Liverpool is only 30 km to the north along the M53. The Cheshire countryside surrounding Chester is gentle and green, with wide roads well suited to larger vehicles. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners who know the area, so you can pick up your vehicle nearby and set off at your own pace. Chester makes a brilliant base for exploring North Wales, the Wirral Peninsula, and the wider north-west, all from a city steeped in two thousand years of history.
Chester rewards a visit in any season. Summer brings the Chester Regatta on the River Dee each July, one of the oldest rowing events in the world, while the Chester Literature Festival fills October with talks and readings across the city. Spring and early summer are ideal for campervan touring, with longer daylight hours and comfortable driving conditions through North Wales and the Cheshire countryside. Book ahead through Yescapa for the peak months of July and August, when you benefit from competitive peer-to-peer pricing compared with traditional hire companies. Autumn and winter have their own appeal — Chester's Christmas markets transform the city centre each November and December.
Chester is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Head 80 km south-west from Chester into the Dee Valley to reach Llangollen, home to the International Musical Eisteddfod each July. Stop at Chirk Castle along the way and walk a stretch of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Campervan parking is available near the town centre.
A short 50 km drive north-east from Chester takes you to Liverpool, where the Albert Dock and the Beatles Story museum await. Cross the Mersey via the Birkenhead Tunnel and explore the Wirral Peninsula on the way. Motorhome-friendly parking is available at several sites near the waterfront.
Drive 130 km west from Chester into the heart of Snowdonia National Park. Visit Betws-y-Coed for woodland walks and continue to Llanberis, the gateway to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon). Roads through the park are well maintained, and several campsites cater for campervans and motorhomes.
Travel 160 km north from Chester to reach the Lake District. Stop at Lancaster for its castle, then continue to Windermere and Ambleside. Hire a rowing boat on Derwentwater and explore Keswick's market square. Plan your route to avoid narrow passes with a larger vehicle.
From Chester, drive 210 km west across North Wales to the Isle of Anglesey. Cross the Menai Strait via the suspension bridge, visit Beaumaris Castle, and follow the coastal path to South Stack Lighthouse. Campervan-friendly aires and campsites dot the island's coastline.
Head 250 km east from Chester across the Pennines into the Yorkshire Dales. Explore Skipton Castle, walk to Malham Cove, and visit the market town of Hawes for Wensleydale cheese. The Dales offer spacious motorhome pitches and quiet lanes perfect for touring at a relaxed pace.

Chester and its surrounding Cheshire countryside offer a good range of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. You will find sites with full electric hook-ups, hardstanding pitches, and modern shower and toilet blocks. Several are within easy reach of the city centre, making it simple to explore Chester on foot or by park-and-ride before returning to your pitch for the evening.
Chester operates a park-and-ride system that works well for larger vehicles, and several car parks on the edge of the city centre can accommodate campervans and motorhomes. Overnight parking in the city centre is generally not permitted for leisure vehicles, so plan to use a campsite or designated motorhome stopover. Always check height barriers before entering any multi-storey facility.
Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans ce mobil-home ; c'était l'hébergement idéal pour notre famille. Il disposait de tout ce dont nous avions besoin, et même bien plus encore ; nous n'avons eu besoin d'apporter quoi que ce soit ! Les propriétaires étaient très sympathiques et serviables : ils ont fourni un guide d'utilisation détaillé et sont restés joignables via WhatsApp pour répondre à nos questions. Je recommande vivement de faire appel à eux. Nous réserverons à nouveau pour l'année prochaine ! 😊
I highly recommend renting from Handy! The camper van was absolute perfection for our family road trip with two young children, and its condition was top-notch. At pickup, Handy was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating, taking the time to explain all the various systems and how to best operate the vehicle. He was also super responsive and helpful whenever I had quick questions during our trip. I couldn't have asked for a better host or vehicle. Thank you, Handy!
very good experience with the owner Luis. I recommend
¡Experiencia de 10 con Blanca y su furgoneta! 🚐✨ No podríamos haber pedido una mejor anfitriona para nuestro fin de semana en Mallorca. Al ser una escapada de solo un par de días, el tiempo era muy valioso para nosotros, y Blanca se adaptó a nuestros horarios sin ningún problema. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y llegamos de madrugada, pero nos esperó con la mejor de las sonrisas y una energía superalegre. ¡Eso no tiene precio! (La camper esta solo a 15 minutos del aeropuerto, ideal!) La campervan está en perfecto estado y supercompleta, no le falta absolutamente nada. Fue la manera ideal de aprovechar al máximo el fin de semana, recorriendo la isla con total libertad y sin ataduras de itinerarios. Algunos tips para futuros viajeros: Para dormir: Les recomendamos intentar aparcar cerca del mar, ya que por la noche refresca más si se pone caluroso. Aparcamiento: Se puede estacionar gratis en la calle en la mayoría de los pueblos (salvo que la señalización indique lo contrario). Si prefieren más comodidades, también hay campings con servicios disponibles. Por último, no dejen de conocer Palma y hacer un walking tour vale muchísimo la pena es hermosa. ¡Gracias por todo, Blanca! Sin duda, repetiríamos con ella con los ojos cerrados. ❤️
Ha sido un placer tratar con Daniel y su familia; son personas encantadoras, muy educadas y con una excelente comunicación. Cuidaron nuestra autocaravana como si fuera suya y la devolvieron a tiempo, en perfectas condiciones y muy limpia. Los recomendamos ampliamente. Muchas gracias de parte de Gary y Michelle.
Ottimo camper, semplice da guidare. Esperienza positiva
