Motorhome-trip through the United Kingdom
The great thing about the UK is that there is a suitable motorhome trip for everyone. Those who like history and go for the old towns can marvel at cities like Oxford and Edinburgh during their motorhome trip, and for a more modern touch, the cosmopolitan city of London is an absolute must. There are also plenty of things to do for nature lovers. The UK is bursting with national parks, all of which are great to explore by motorhome. You can get out here by bike, take a short or longer walk and in some places you can even get in a canoe or put on your climbing boots. On a hot summer day, you can also relax on one of the many beaches that the country is rich in. There is always something for young and old to do during a motorhome trip through the United Kingdom!
If you travel to the UK with a motorhome, do not forget to bring an adapter, which you will need to fill up with fuel. Also adjust your lights for left-hand traffic when entering the country. It is advised to bring a fire extinguisher, warning triangle, safety jacket and a first aid kit
Note: from 2 April 2025, European tourists will have to pay £10 (about €12) for an ETA to enter the UK. The ETA is valid for 2 years and allows multiple visits. Registration can be done online from 5 March.

Motorhome routes through the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom offers a wide range of beautiful motorhome routes that are worth exploring. In Scotland, for example, you can follow the iconic North Coast 500, an 830-kilometre round trip that starts and ends in Inverness, deep in the Highlands. This route is perfect for a motorhome trip and introduces you to the breathtaking landscapes of the rugged Scottish Highlands.
England also has its own gem, called the Great West Way. This motorhome route takes you past several historical and cultural highlights, such as Windsor Castle, where the British royal family resides, and the mystical Stonehenge. You surely won't miss out on England's most iconic sights during your motorhome trip when following this route.
But there are more options! You can, for instance, create your own route along England's picturesque coastline or choose a motorhome trip that takes you from the north of England to the south of Scotland for a unique experience.
What many motorhome owners do not realise, however, is that Wales also has a treasury of wonderful motorhome itineraries to offer. For example, consider the Coastal Way, which takes you along the breathtaking Pembrokeshire coastline, or the Cambrian Way, which runs through the heart of Wales and takes you past the impressive mountains of Snowdonia.
