There’s something magical about a clear night sky. Often the view is obstructed by lights, pollution and buildings. But the UK is home to some incredible stargazing spots. And what’s the best way to get out into the countryside whilst enjoying some home comforts? A motorhome, of course. View our fleet today.

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Just over an hour from our depot, the Yorkshire Dales National Park is part of the International Dark Sky Program. The Dales offer great walking trails in the day, as well as popular villages such as Grassington and Hebden where you can enjoy cute cafes and homely pubs.

Known for hikers favourite Mount Snowdon, Snowdonia is a fantastic place to visit. Whether you take a trail for sunset at the peak with stargazing afterwards, or take in the views with your feet up with a mug of cocoa, you’ll be stunned by the views in the night sky.

Northumberland National Park

The Northumberland coastline is stunning by day – but by night, it takes on a whole new beauty. Listen to the waves crashing as you take in the starry skies. Villages within the national park are lovely for exploring, too. It’s a fantastic location for stargazing in the UK.

Bodmin Moor, Cornwall

A bit further afield is Cornwall, where Bodmin Moor has been awarded Dark Sky Landscape status. Bodmin Moor has been recognised for its efforts to reduce light pollution.

OM Dark Sky Park, County Tyrone

If you fancy getting a ferry, OM Dark Sky park offers incredible stargazing PLUS it boasts an observatory. EU insurance is available to book with your motorhome hire.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back on the menu, the schools are open again, and that can only mean one thing… Autumn is back! Whilst often overlooked in favour of summer getaways, autumn can be a stunning time to get away and see the UK and Europe with less heat and fewer crowds. We’ve compiled a little list to inspire you when you book your next trip away in a motorhome.

Whitby, England

The Yorkshire seaside town is packed with people in summer, but in autumn you can have a little more space to breathe and enjoy your quaint surroundings. Whitby leans into its gothic roots all year round, with spiritual shops and events, but autumn is where is really steps it up a gear, adding extra interest to your trip.

Alsace Region, France

This beautiful area of the world offers both majestic scenery and cosy hideaways, making it perfect for an autumn getaway. Visit the historical old town of Colmar, with it’s pubs, cafes and shops that have remained untouched for hundreds of years.

Nearby is medieval Castle Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg. It’s an incredible step back in time and has been painstakingly preserved. Strategically built on a hill, it offers incredible views of the surrounding area. In autumn, this means you can see the changing colours of the leaves in all their glory.

NC500, Scotland

The NC500 is one of the UK’s most popular road trips, and it’s even more beautiful in autumn. You’ll be able to feel more remote without the summer holiday families, with some areas seeming like you have it entirely to yourselves.

You’re also much less likely to suffer from the dreaded Scottish midges while you enjoy a Lochside stroll!

Snowdon, Wales

One of the most popular destinations for walkers, Snowdon is picturesque all year round. While winter often becomes treacherous for walking many of the trails in the area, and summer means popular routes such as the Watkin Path are packed out, autumn offers the best of all worlds. On a clear day, you can expect ideal walking temperatures, and an uninterrupted hike.

Another added benefit of autumn is it is much easier to get a sunrise or sunset hike in, to really see all the oranges and reds of the leaves in stunning “golden hour” lighting.

Pendle, England

The Lancashire borough of Pendle is just under an hour from our Motorhome Rent UK depot. Visitors can enjoy Pendle Hill walks, doable for children and easy enough to tackle on a crisp autumn day. Around October time you can also indulge in Halloween activities, as this area is famous for it’s witches!
