Helpful tips for your holiday in Manchester

When you book a motorhome rental in Manchester through CamperDays, it will depend on the type of holiday you are looking to have, but if you want relatively nice weather, March through August is a good time to head out on the road.

• 

  Outdoor activities
  If you want to participate in outdoor activities like hiking when you book your camper van hire in Manchester through our portal, the best time to visit is often spring or autumn. The weather is very mild during these periods with fewer crowds, meaning you can enjoy the blooming flowers, fresh green landscapes and other sights more peacefully.
• 

  Beach holiday
  If you want the best weather, visiting the beaches along the coast from Manchester, such as Filey, Blackpool, and Morecambe Bay, makes sense during summer. However, to avoid crowds, you should hold off and go during autumn or earlier in spring when the weather is a little cooler, but the areas are quieter.
• 

  Sightseeing
  For similar reasons, we recommend going between July and August if you want to sightsee when you rent a motorhome in Manchester. The weather is still pleasant, with only a little rain, and the crowds are starting to die off.

Best campervan routes around Manchester

When you rent a campervan in Manchester, you can explore a fantastic range of unique and enthralling road trip routes.

Manchester to Lake District National Park
The Lake District National Park is famous worldwide among those looking for a place to unwind and chill, nature lovers, hikers, and even literary enthusiasts. It is one of the most popular natural reserves in the country and covers just under 1,000 square miles. To get to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, when you hire a motorhome in Manchester, you just need to head north, taking the M6 motorway. When you get there, you will find many great things to see and do, including nature trails, birdwatching opportunities, and chances to take a boat out on the water and fish, among many other fun activities.

Manchester to Yorkshire Dales National Park
Another stunning example of the raw natural beauty the British countryside has if you just get out there and explore is the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Slightly smaller than the Lake District, it covers around 850 square miles of greenery and stretches into three different counties in Lancashire, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria. Reaching the southern point of access takes around an hour's drive if you rent a campervan in Manchester. The drive there alone is nothing short of inspirational. Still, once you get there, you can travel to and from little villages like Kettlewell and Kinsley for a genuinely authentic British countryside experience.

Places of interest and excursions in Manchester

Morecambe Bay
One of the most stunning seaside locations, Morecambe Bay offers 310 square kilometres of sandy beach. You have the chance to spot stunning birds in the wild and flat fish, also to take a dip, but be on the lookout for the grey seals that often visit the bay.

Blackpool
Often considered the Las Vegas of the North, Blackpool has been a trendy holiday destination for people worldwide, not just in the UK. It is a great place to spend time on the beach, walk along the iconic promenade, and climb the Blackpool Tower.

Peak District
We’ve already mentioned the Lake District, but equally remarkable is Peak District. This is home to the tallest mountain in England, Scafell Pike. You can take a cable car to the Heights of Abraham to enjoy some of the longest views of the British Countryside or participate in activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing.

Lake District
The Lake District National Park is a UNESCO Heritage Site and home to the country's most deepest lakes. There is so much to explore and do in the many villages and towns in this beautiful part of the country. Lake Windermere and Wastwater are among the most popular.
