7 Great UK Destinations Best Visited in a Luxury Motorhome

Although five-star hotels are plentiful across the U.K., some destinations remain quite distant from coveted accommodations. One solution is to seek out these more distant places in a luxury motorhome. Take your accommodations with you and enjoy spontaneous stops along the way.

There’s certainly a lot of countryside and coastline to explore, and much history to experience, throughout the U.K. The dramatic coastlines of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland extend for 12,429 km, according to one calculation. Were you to embark on an ultimate north-south drive from Thurso to Falmouth, you'd cover an impressive 1,297 km.

Whether you’re looking for a special staycation or a chance to reconnect with the joys of countryside and coastline, a motorhome is a wonderful alternative.
