Best UK Country Escapes

It’s the perfect time to plan your escape to the country for some R+R or go full steam ahead with activities on holiday.
 

So, where should I go in Britain?

Get your camera ready and retreat to the countryside for these motorhome country escapes.

 

1. Peak District

Stanage Edge in the Peak District is a massive draw for walkers, climbers and runners, so there's always something going on. What's more, it was deemed impressive enough for Keira Knightley overlooking Hope Valley in Pride & Prejudice, and you can take a guided walk to see the filming location for yourself, as well as other treats for literary lovers such as the setting of Thornfield Hall in Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.

 

2. New Forest

Just over a mile from Woolsbridge Manor Farm Caravan Park on the edge of the New Forest, Moors Valley makes for a great Dorset destination as another motorhome country escape. If you're after the quiet life, there are Roach, Rudd, Tench, Perch and Dace fishing opportunities between 16 June and 14 March from 8.30 am (day tickets are needed and can be purchased from the visitor centre beforehand). If you’re a golfer, lessons and play are available on-site, or you can ride the steam train along the banks of the Moors Lake.

 

3. Stratford-upon-Avon

There are not many better places for quintessential countryside motorhome escapism than Warwickshire. Binton village is home to glorious gardens surrounded by greenery as far as you can see. About one mile north of the Avon River, you'll find plenty of spots to relax and wander along the waterside, watching narrowboats chug along under postcard-worthy scenery.

 

4. Norfolk

With thousands of hectares of heathland and broadleaves, Thetford is home to the largest man-made lowland forest. As well as exploring the woodland walks and picnic spots here, you can try your hand at archery, or even climb high into the trees on a Go Ape course.

 

5. Yorkshire

South of the North Yorkshire Moors and north of the Humber, you'll find the winding Yorkshire Wolds Way. It's around 80 miles long, officially from Hessle to Filey, with chalk topography folding in on itself followed by chequerboard fields and greenery to the horizon.
