Why hire a campervan or motorhome in North West

North West — a region worth exploring

The North West of England packs over 14 national nature reserves into a region stretching from the Solway Firth down to the Cheshire Plain, making it one of the most ecologically diverse corners of the country. At its heart sits the Lake District National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Scafell Pike rises to 978 metres as England's highest peak. From Liverpool's Albert Dock — home to Tate Liverpool and the Beatles Story — to the medieval streets of Chester with its unique two-tiered Rows, the region balances urban culture with wide-open landscapes. The drive from Manchester to Keswick covers roughly 145 km through rolling farmland and dramatic fells, while the 95 km coastal stretch from Blackpool to Lancaster follows the sweep of Morecambe Bay. Narrow lake-shore roads and mountain passes such as Hardknott Pass demand careful route planning, but they reward you with views that make every gear change worthwhile. Smaller campervans handle the tighter lanes around Windermere and Coniston with ease, while larger motorhomes suit the broader A-roads connecting major towns. With Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners spread across the North West, so you can pick up a vehicle close to your starting point and set off without delay. The peer-to-peer model means a wider choice of layouts and price points, whether you want a compact two-berth or a family-sized motorhome for a fortnight in the fells.

Best time to visit

May to September is the prime window for a campervan trip through the North West, with long daylight hours ideal for exploring the Lake District's trails and coastline. The Appleby Horse Fair in early June draws thousands to the Eden Valley, while the Liverpool International Music Festival in July fills the city with free outdoor performances. Spring and autumn bring quieter roads and lower hire costs — a real advantage when booking through Yescapa, where peer-to-peer pricing often undercuts traditional operators. Campsites around Windermere and Keswick stay open well into October, so shoulder-season trips are perfectly doable.

The best road trips in North West

To help you plan your trip, we have selected six unmissable road trips, suitable for all travelers.

The Morecambe Bay Circuit

130 km 3–6 days

Start in Lancaster and loop south through Carnforth and Silverdale AONB before crossing to Grange-over-Sands. At roughly 130 km, this short route suits a campervan perfectly, with coastal birdwatching sites and the Leighton Moss RSPB reserve along the way. Plenty of campsite options near Arnside.

The Ribble Valley Explorer

150 km 3–6 days

This 150 km route winds from Preston through Clitheroe and the Forest of Bowland AONB, looping back via Longridge. Quiet lanes pass through market towns with local food producers, and the Ribble Way footpath is never far. Ideal for a compact campervan and a relaxed few days in the North West countryside.

The Lakes and Coast Loop

300 km 5–8 days

From Kendal, head west to Coniston Water and Wastwater, then north to Cockermouth before following the Cumbrian coast through Whitehaven and St Bees. This 300 km loop covers the western Lake District and its quieter shoreline. Motorhomes handle the A-roads well, with several well-equipped campsites en route.

The Two Cities Route

350 km 5–8 days

Link Manchester and Liverpool via the 350 km scenic route through Rivington Pike, Chorley, Southport's sand dunes, and the Leeds-Liverpool Canal towpath. Urban culture meets rural North West charm, with museums, live music, and open moorland all in one trip. Campervans and motorhomes both work well here.

The Grand North West Traverse

520 km 7–11 days

A 520 km journey from Chester's Roman walls north through the Trough of Bowland, across to the Eden Valley, and up to Carlisle. You pass through three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and skirt the eastern Lake District fells. A motorhome with full facilities lets you make the most of remote overnight stops.

The Complete Cumbria and Lancashire Tour

600 km 10–15 days

This 600 km route takes in the full sweep of the North West, from Morecambe Bay to Hadrian's Wall at Birdoswald Fort, then south through Ullswater and Ambleside before finishing on the Lancashire coast at Lytham St Annes. Allow two weeks in your campervan to enjoy fell walks, lake cruises, and market-town stopovers.

What you need to know about roads and motorways in North West

The M6 is the North West's main artery, running from the Cheshire border up through Lancaster to Cumbria, and it is toll-free along this stretch. The M6 Toll near Birmingham may feature on longer journeys south. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3.05 tonnes are 50 mph on single carriageways and 60 mph on dual carriageways and motorways. Rest areas with services appear regularly along the M6, M56, and M62. Mountain passes in the Lake District — notably Hardknott and Wrynose — are single-track with steep gradients up to 30%, so vehicles over 7.5 metres should avoid them entirely.
