Why choose Chatteris for your road trip

Chatteris — a city worth exploring

Chatteris holds the distinction of being the geographical centre of England, a claim marked by a plaque on the wall of St Peter and St Paul's Church in the heart of this Fenland market town. Sitting within the flat, open landscapes of Cambridgeshire, Chatteris offers a quieter pace and genuine rural character. The town's Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul dates back to the 13th century, while the Chatteris Museum on Church Lane documents centuries of local Fenland life. A short walk takes you to the Chatteris War Memorial, and the surrounding area includes Langwood Fen, one of the last remaining areas of traditional fen habitat. Ely, with its magnificent cathedral, lies just 16 km to the south-east, and the market town of March is only 13 km to the north. The Fens themselves are ideal for campervan touring — long, straight roads cross wide-open farmland, making driving easy and parking straightforward. Cycling routes along the river banks and drainage channels add another dimension to any visit. With Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from local owners in the region, giving you the freedom to explore this peaceful corner of Cambridgeshire at your own pace. Peer-to-peer hire means you benefit from local knowledge and competitive pricing, with pick-up points often closer than you might expect.

Best time to visit

Chatteris and the surrounding Fens are especially rewarding between April and October, when the long daylight hours show off the vast skies this area is known for. The Chatteris Midsummer Festival, held each June, fills the town with live music, stalls, and community events — a great reason to time your visit. Autumn brings harvest season and golden light across the flat fields, perfect for a campervan trip along quiet Fenland roads. Through Yescapa, you can find motorhome hire at peer-to-peer prices year-round, with more choice available if you book a few weeks ahead during the warmer months. Chatteris is a calm base whatever the season.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Chatteris

Matthew
5 / 5

We hired Trina for 5 nights earlier this July. My girlfriend and I had a fantastic time on the island. Jandro was incredibly helpful, always on hand before and during the trip to answer any questions which really helped us navigate the island and enjoy our trip. The vehicle was fantastic, an incredible experience to drive. All the amenities were brilliant as well. I would highly recommend using Jandro and one of his vans for a fantastic Mallorca experience!

5 / 5

Communication with the owner was great, van was immaculate, heaps of choice, love the peer to peer concept. Easy to add an extra driver and ID checks were very thorough but straightforward. Changing dates wasn't so easy, the owner was great, but the process at the back end took some manual effort. Teething problems, not a big deal. Main area that needs improving (for me anyway) is the deposit. There was a single line in a table stating Deposit: cash or transfer, that I hadn't seen. The owner asked for the cash or a transfer when we were at the car, which he explained was normal process, but Yescapa could have explained beforehand. I transferred €2000 directly to the owner, which didn't feel comfortable. I had expected this would all be done via Yescapa. I ended up losing €45 in exchange rate variations + fees as well, the owner's bank had challenges which meant it to 5 days to get a lot of cash back. It was lucky we had that amount at hand. I would use Yescapa again. I hope they can tidy up and improve the processes though.

5 / 5

Incredible time spent across the south of France with an incredible van! From beach, lakes, mountains and fields, it got me places I didn’t even pre conceive. Can’t speak more highly of my over all experience from van collection at train station to drop off. Drives smoother than my Suzuki jimny and can confirm very 6ft 4 friendly.

Aaron
5 / 5

We had an amazing experience hiring Eli's campervan! It was perfect for our family of four – myself, my partner, and our two young daughters. The van was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed for our trip. It was easy to drive, well-equipped, and made exploring the malaga so much more enjoyable. The owners were friendly, helpful, and made the whole rental process smooth from start to finish. We made some unforgettable family memories and wouldn't hesitate to rent this campervan again. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and hassle-free adventure in Spain. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
