Bordering with London and Kent, the beautiful county of Essex is a great place to start a southern adventure in a motorhome. Essex is known for its diverse landscape: urbanised cities and towns, green countryside, and a dramatic coastline over the sea. Campervan hire in Essex is easy and affordable with CamperDays and allows you to explore the countryside and coastline.
You can travel through the dense forest and woodlands of Hatfield and Epping to enjoy the serenity. Southend-on-Sea, the illustrious pier, and other popular holiday destinations like Canvey Island, Clacton Beach, and West Mersea Beach are great beaches where you can spend time. Colchester is the country's oldest city and home to a typical Norman-style castle. Beyond Essex, you can use your rental motorhome to take in the visual and sensory delights of Kent, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, or Suffolk, depending on the direction you choose to go.
