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.

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.
The trip was amazing. Francesca, the owner, helped us a lot and was always available. The van was really good, with big space inside. Highly recommended.
Dominique is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. The van was perfect, clean and cosy. We loved the trip even though the high altitude passes were very scary especially as we are driving on the wrong side of the road!
Andre couldn’t have been more helpful, plus he is a positive, warm individual. The camper was superb in every way, hygienic, beautiful handling and equipped with everything needed, no silly extras for bedding. Brand new mattresses that were so comfortable and all the windows had bug netting so nothing could get in or bite us. Will definitely do this again, PLUS great value. Very very happy with service and equipment
Very nice owners, kind and flexible! The camper van was easy to understand, and comfortable to use - above expectation. Thank you!!
Paloma was a pleasure to drive and really comfortable for our family of four. The van was equipped with everything we needed, beds were spacious and had safety nets, the shower and toilet were very handy, there was plenty of storage space and lots of room to move around. Susana was really helpful and accommodating and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip. The only disappointing aspect is that the fridge did not work, and the freezer only worked when plugged in. While the freezer was ok for keeping some items cool, it did make things considerably more difficult for us - we were travelling with 2 young children and cooked for ourselves most evenings. It was frustrating having to visit a shop every day/every other day and we ended up having to bin quite a lot of food. It is a shame this wasn't mentioned in the listing as it would have impacted our decision to book the van. Every other aspect was faultless and despite the issue with the fridge we had a really wonderful 2 week adventure in Paloma. We would definitely recommend if you are happy to operate without a fridge and can rely on the freezer.
Great experience driving the van around Mallorca, absolutely beautiful place. The van drove very well, fully equipped and Juan is super friendly with great communication. Would fully recommend.
