Why choose Nottingham for your road trip

Nottingham — a city worth exploring

Nottingham's Council House stands in the Old Market Square, one of the largest public squares in the United Kingdom at roughly 22,000 square metres. The city's history stretches from the legendary tales of Robin Hood to its industrial heritage in lace-making and bicycle manufacturing. You can explore the City of Caves, a network of over 500 sandstone caves carved beneath the streets, or visit Nottingham Castle, which reopened in 2021 as an interactive museum and art gallery perched on Castle Rock. The National Justice Museum brings centuries of crime and punishment to life, while Wollaton Hall — a striking Elizabethan mansion set in a deer park — doubles as a natural history museum. For green space, the Arboretum is the city's oldest public park, opened in 1852. Derby sits just 23 km to the south-west, and the market town of Southwell, home to its famous Minster, is only 22 km to the north-east. Nottingham's compact centre is easy to navigate, though surrounding roads open up quickly towards the rolling countryside of the East Midlands. Hiring a campervan or motorhome through Yescapa connects you directly with local owners who know the best routes out of the city, making it simple to pair an urban break with a countryside escape. With a campervan as your base, you can move freely between Nottingham's cultural highlights and the green landscapes just beyond its borders.

Best time to visit

Nottingham comes alive in October during the Goose Fair, a funfair tradition dating back over 700 years, held at the Forest Recreation Ground. The Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival in October also draws visitors to the city. Summer months from June to August are ideal for exploring by campervan, with long daylight hours and pleasant conditions for driving through the East Midlands. Booking your motorhome early for summer through Yescapa gives you access to competitive peer-to-peer pricing from local owners. Spring and autumn in Nottingham offer quieter roads and more availability at nearby campsites, perfect for a relaxed hire at your own pace.

Where to park your motorhome

Nottingham operates a clear zone in the city centre, so larger vehicles are best left at Park & Ride sites on the outskirts. These offer affordable day rates and tram or bus links into town. Overnight parking in a motorhome or campervan on public streets is generally not permitted without specific signage allowing it. Always check height barriers before entering multi-storey car parks, as most have a 2-metre limit.

  • Queens Drive Park & Ride, 5km south — Large surface car park on the south side of the city with regular tram services into the centre. No height restrictions, suitable for campervans and motorhomes during the day.
  • Forest Recreation Ground, 1km north — Open ground north of the city centre used for events and overflow parking. Check signage for any temporary restrictions, especially during Goose Fair in October.
  • Racecourse Park & Ride, 4km southeast — Located east of the centre near Nottingham Racecourse, with bus connections into town. Spacious layout accommodates larger vehicles comfortably during daytime hours.
