Why choose Halifax (Nova Scotia) for your road trip

Halifax (Nova Scotia) — a city worth exploring

Halifax sits at the confluence of the Hebble Brook and the River Calder, its iconic Piece Hall standing as the last surviving Georgian cloth hall in the world, built in 1779 with 315 rooms arranged around a grand colonnaded courtyard. This West Yorkshire town shaped the global textile trade and today offers a rewarding mix of industrial heritage and green valleys. The Eureka! National Children's Museum brings families from across the country, while Shibden Hall — a 15th-century timber-framed manor once home to Anne Lister — draws visitors fascinated by its remarkable history. Dean Clough, a former carpet mill complex, now houses galleries, restaurants, and creative studios across more than 100,000 square metres. The surrounding Calderdale countryside is ideal for exploring by campervan, with the Pennine Way accessible just 15 km to the west and the charming market town of Hebden Bridge only 13 km along the A646. Rolling moorland, steep-sided valleys, and winding roads characterise the landscape, so a compact motorhome suits many of the narrower lanes. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners across West Yorkshire, giving you flexible pick-up options and the kind of insider knowledge that makes a trip around Halifax and the Calder Valley genuinely memorable. Whether you are here for the heritage, the hiking, or both, this corner of northern England rewards those who take their time.

Best time to visit

Halifax comes alive in June during the Piece Hall Summer Series, with open-air concerts and markets filling the courtyard. The Hebden Bridge Arts Festival in late June and early July adds another reason to visit the Calder Valley in a campervan. Spring and early autumn bring quieter roads and comfortable temperatures for walking the Pennine moors. Summer is the busiest period, so booking your hire through Yescapa ahead of time helps you secure the best choice from local owners. Winter weekends around Halifax see festive markets at the Piece Hall, offering a cosy reason to travel out of season at lower hire rates.

We rented this camper van for a two-week trip through the Alps and southern france, it was fantastic from start to finish. The van was reliable and easy to drive, even on the steep, winding alpine mountain roads. It also performed exceptionally well on the motorways, with cruise control making the longer journeys comfortable and stress-free. The layout was perfect for two people. The rear seating folds out to a bed and pop-top roof bed provided plenty of space and privacy when sleeping. During the day, the seating area and well-equipped kitchen made the van feel comfortable and practical, while the retractable awning was great for relaxing outside on warm evenings. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. On arrival, they took the time to explain all the features of the van and made sure we were comfortable before setting off. The return process was just as easy and straightforward. Overall, this is a fantastic camper van owned by a lovely family. We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend both the van and its owners to anyone looking for a memorable campervan adventure. We would happily rent from them again in the future.

Incredibly easy- Hector was there to talk us through everything. He was happy to answer all of our questions and gave us excellent practical advice. We felt fully supported abd it gave us a real confidence boost when we took control of the camper. We had to contact Hector during out trip sbout the van and he was on hand and easy to engage with. Ditto with our drop off. We loved using the camper: it was confortable and easily accommodated our family of 5 (including two teenagers!). It was a wonderful way to explore the Basque Country and we would definitely be up for doing it again.
