Campervan Hire in Kent and Dover

Hiring a campervan in our new Heathrow location has never been easier, there are 3 easy ways to book your VW campervan with Easicampers Heathrow, you can book through our  website https://easicampervanhire.com/campervan-hire-heathrow-airport/  or give us a call on 01942 821080 or 01942 778899 or you can email us on wigan@easicampers.com or bookings@easicampers.com.  Here we have found a popular location for this summer so why not give it a try?

The rural country of Kent is located perfectly on the south east coast of England. This gives it just enough distance from London Heathrow to have a great road network yet far enough away to be well out of all the hustle and bustle of the city. Plus as it’s on the south coast it gets more than a fair amount of sun, making Kent the perfect location for a  Campervan holiday this summer.
Take a look at what Kent has to offer the family

Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest
For the outdoorsy family, there is always Kent’s Bedgebury Forest. This makes up the largest area of natural beauty in Europe and makes it perfect for a quiet exploration with the family and really getting into the heart of summer with some forested fun. Boasting natural wildlife, high ropes course’, mountain bike trails and lots and lots of hiking. This has something for everybody on your next family holiday.
There is a camp site on the actual forests land its self, which allows Motorhomes. Making this the perfect location for a Motorhome retreat with the whole family this summer. The camp site even boasts a bush course to be able to train the little ones how to survive in the wild. Courses start from as little as £6 and run on weekends.

Saint Mary’s Bay
When you simply want to relax in the sun, Saint Mary’s Beach is the place for you. It is located just far away from the nearest town to make it a bit quieter but not far away to deprive it of necessities. This small beach is on the far south coast of the Kent county and is connected by an A road to the outside world. It is backed by 3 large golf resorts and a private mansion. It may sound like a very high-end place but in reality it’s very competitively priced when you get to the nearest town of New Romney.
The nearest Motorhome campsite to here would be New Romney Camping Site.

Dover Castle
Maybe history is more your thing? Well, there is always Dover Castle. Boasting wartime museums with displays dating all the way back to its creation in 800BC all the way up to WWII. This castle has something for anybody interested in history. The castle is based in Kent’s small town of Dover but has a lot of countryside in the surroundings where Motorhome camp sites are common practise.
The closest campsite we could recommend would be The Chequers Caravan Club. This is a caravan club that gives discounts to members but it also pretty cheap without a membership, so is well worth a visit.

The Historic Dockyard Chatham
If you love a good museum then The Historic Dockyard Chatham could be just right for you. This museum has been the star of many TV shows ranging from Mad Men to The Golden Compass. The location is a step back from the modern world and you will feel immersed by its very nature as soon as you arrive. Try it for yourself this summer.
The nearest mobile home camp site would be the Fell Barn Inn. Don’t be tricked by the name, the site isn’t actually an inn.

Maybe your looking into buying a  Campervan but would like to try one before you buy then please do not hesitate to contact us at Easicampers Heathrow and we would be more than happy to assist with any enquires.

Day Four
After awakening in Robin Hood Bay start to head towards York. The highlights of York are the York minster Cathedral and the National Rail Museum. Spend most of the day in York before leaving late afternoon heading through Southern Yorkshire past the remains of the Yorkshire mining industry, across the Humber Bridge and onto Lincoln.

You can either stay overnight in Bath or head down to Wells and Cheddar Gorge.
In the morning, visit Lincoln Castle and for the Da Vinci Code Tour in the Lincoln Cathedral.

After some early morning cheese tasting in Cheddar Gorge perhaps a spot of spelunking in the Wookey Hole might be in order.

Motorhome Tours of Scotland’s North Coast NC500

The Scotland NC500, notoriously one of the world’s most beautiful ‘road trip’ routes discovered. This specific northern route takes you on Scotland’s most iconic inland and coastal roads around the wonderful north coast of Scotland, starting and ending at inverness castle.

What to expect on Scotland’s North Coast NC500

From first-hand experience you can expect to see scenery like never before, from medieval castles set upon jagged pinnacles to vibrant blue lakes surrounded by immense Munroe’s and forestland. Safe to say your camera is unquestionably in for a treat. There is also a small chance of a glimpse of the northern lights concluded the summer months. Below is a sneak peak of some of the sights/activates you’d expect to see during your ‘staycation’.

The Whaligoe Steps

The whaligoe steps are a man-made stairwell that descend into a natural harbour located between two sea cliffs. The steps zig zag down the sea cliff and there is no elevator back to the top, so ensure your walking boots are packed and ready!

Motorhome/campervan friendly roads

Without doubt the NC500 boasts some of the world’s most spectaculars road surfaces as shown above. From first-hand view you could easily mistake this route as a New Zealand road trip. So pack your sunny’s and take it all in… YOU’RE IN FOR A TREAT!

To conclude the NC500 is a necessity for any road trip or campervan fanatic. We can’t stress how much there is to see and do and tailors for everyone and anyone. Easicampers where a vital part of helping us select this route and provided us with excellent customer service and advice/knowledge throughout our summer holiday on the NC500. I couldn’t recommend the company and route anymore and for all you intending on doing the NC500… You’re in for a luxury!
