Why choose Chester for your road trip

Chester — a city worth exploring

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.

Best time to visit

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.

Where to park your motorhome

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Chester

Kyra
5 / 5

Absolutely loved staying in Alfreds campervan. The decor was beautiful. It had everything we needed, a perfect space for two people for time in nature travelling. It was so good having a fridge on the road. He answered any questions I had and the pick up/ drop off was great. Would definitely love to rent it again in the future when we come back to Spain. Thank you!

Guy

Patrick was very friendly and went above and beyond his duty to make sure everything went smoothly. He even took us to the station after we dropped the van off. We would highly recommend him.

Glyn

Communication with Guillaume the owner was excellent. Always available to answer questions and give advice about travel destinations. The campervan was a perfect size for our first experience of this type of holiday. We used sites for our 7 night travel experience which worked well with electric/topping up water etc. Overall a great experience and would use this owner again.

Everything went smooth during the whole pick up and return process. The van has seen some life but everything was clean and in great working condition + the price was very competitive when comparing to anything else available at the time. Very enjoyable trip with the van, highly recommended
