Are you an Australian or New Zealand resident thinking of visiting the UK for a long holiday?
 
Have you always wanted to travel across the world and visit the UK? You may be lucky enough to be planning a long trip for two, three or four months. Hire motorhomes in the UK from New Zealand
 
What better way to do this than by RV or motorhome?
 
How we can help?
 
We are a motorhome travel agency based in the UK. We provide motorhomes for hire and also plan your entire holiday.
 
Consulting with you to find out what sort of holiday experience you want. Then we will go away and come up with some ideas of possible routes, campsites and activities.
 
When you are happy with the route and campsites that we have planned we will go ahead and plan your whole holiday.
 
Take a look at the link below for more information about us:
 
 
How does it work?
 
Once you are happy with the proposed holiday we will go ahead and produce a detailed document. This will include routes, campsites, restaurants, bars and activities and parking. We will also book all your campsites.
 
When you arrive in the UK we will pick you up from the airport. Our nearest airport is Bristol but we can arrange transfers for you from other UK airports too. This is all part of our service.
 
More Flexibility?
 
Because you are enjoying an extended holiday you may prefer to be a little more fluid and flexible. We will plan a route with campsites where you have the opportunity to stay longer in some than planned. You can also move on quicker or even add places or divert your route. During school holidays you need to book campsites in advance. If not, you can always find somewhere although it may not be your first choice of site.
 
It’s up to you
 
We can plan your holiday exactly as you want it. We can plan and book to the exact date or we can let you choose the dates and contact the campsites yourself.
 
Which way is better?
 
We have stayed on campsites since 2001 and have experienced both methods of holiday planning.
 
If we are going on holiday for a short time, i.e. a week or less we usually tend to book so that we know where we are going and what date we will be there at each site.
 
We often holiday for longer periods of time. For example, this summer we went to Spain and Portugal for three and a half weeks. We planned an approximate route, picked our campsites, but preferred to not book them. We had an idea in mind but kept things flexible so that we could choose when to move each time. This was a great way to explore. At one point we even followed the weather! We were due to head up to Northern Spain but the weather forecast was 17 degrees and raining, so we thought why go there? We can go another time so we headed across country instead to Salamanca where the weather was in the low 30’s! Lovely!
 
When you book your holiday with us we will work with you to provide you with the exact experience that you want. You let us know, our job is to take the pressure off you so that you turn up and enjoy your holiday.
 
What about if you need help while you are away?
 
At the front of your itinerary you will have a list of our phone numbers. If you need our help while you are away then give us a call and we will do our best to assist.
 
Ideal as a retirement treat
 
Most people can only dream of such a long holiday. It is an ideal retirement treat for yourself or your partner. Imagine beginning retired life with a trip across the world to enjoy a holiday of a lifetime. Perfect.
 
Special Interests?
 
Some of our customers have very specific things in mind that they want to do on their holiday. We can include walking, cycling, sight-seeing, tourist attractions or any other special interests. You tell us what and we will plan it.
 
Ideas for your route
 
We would suggest that you begin your holiday near our office here in Bristol.

 

Tour the UK from Australia or New Zealand by Motorhome

Bath

We recommend that you pay a visit to Bath. It is a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its Georgian architecture and boutique shopping. It has a fantastic city centre and is also the only place in the UK where you can bathe in naturally hot spa water. Bath is surrounded by beautiful countryside and World Famous Heritage sites such as Stonehenge.

Bristol is a completely different city to Bath and will appeal to visitors for different reasons. Like Bath, it has a good historical element, famous for its maritime history, Brunel and Banksy. It has acres of parkland, award winning cycle tracks and boasts a variety of entertainment venues and nightlife. In contrast to the cities of Bristol and Bath, Somerset is a county with vast expanses of open, unspoilt spaces waiting to be explored. It has beautiful buildings – in smaller cities, villages and bustling market towns – rich in history. With a contrast of beaches, caves, moors and levels, some of Britain’s most iconic places can be found in Somerset such as Glastonbury and Cheddar.

Dorset

Then moving on to Dorset, a county with a picturesque coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast. It was awarded World Heritage Status by UNESCO in 2001. The coastline also boasts many unique landforms such as Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Over half of Dorset is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You should also visit Hampshire. The county has a stunning coastline, beautiful countryside and many exciting attractions in Portsmouth, the New Forest and Winchester. Visit King Arthur’s Round Table, go on board Nelson’s flagship or relive the tragic story of the Titanic.

Enjoy Hampshire’s award-winning country parks and go shopping in the historic market towns.

The Lake District

Cumbria is a personal favourite of ours. It is considered one of the most beautiful regions of the UK and includes the whole of the Lake District. The Lake District is England’s largest National Park with breathtaking lakes, soaring mountains – known locally as ‘fells’, picturesque valleys and a sandy coastline. Each lake and valley has a distinctive character just waiting to be discovered

Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde

Glasgow

Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland’s western Lowlands. It’s famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city’s 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it’s a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.

Loch Lomond

Autumn in Scotland is well known for its glorious colours and dramatic sunsets. The landscape is transformed by a breathtaking explosion of colour – brown, gold, yellow and russet red. Enjoy strolls through the oak woodlands and pine forests as a sense of relaxation takes over the landscape.

Ramble up hills, wander ancient woodlands and explore the rugged shoreline. There’s nothing better than enjoying Loch Lomond, a piece of wild Scotland all to yourself with only the wildlife and landscape to enjoy

Lying on the Highland Boundary Fault, the loch is 24.5 miles (39 km) long, it is the largest freshwater loch in Scotland and has more than 30 islands, the largest of which is Inchmurrin. The Loch Lomond and Trossachs area of Scotland was awarded National Park status in July 2002. A popular leisure destination located between the lowlands of central Scotland and the Highlands. In 2005, a poll of Radio Times readers voted Loch Lomond the sixth greatest natural wonder in Britain.

Edinburgh

It is not difficult to understand how local boy Robert Louis Stevenson came to write Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, growing up as he did in a city of such extraordinary variety. From the history-soaked medieval tenements, vennels and wynds of the Old Town to the sweeping elegance of the Georgian New Town, Edinburgh deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful and compelling cities in the world.

 

Easy to get around by bus, Edinburgh is built on a human scale. This is a city that repays close inspection so the best way to get to know it is on foot. There are amazing views, hidden courtyards, secret gardens and stunning architectural details to be discovered almost everywhere you look.

Aviemore and The Highlands

The Highlands are often portrayed as a romantic part of Scotland. This is not at all strange given the stunning unspoilt nature with rugged mountains, deep blue lochs and empty glens where majestic Red Deer rule the hills and Eagles rule the skies. Due to the ever and fast changing weather the Highlands have a mystical touch. One moment you see the hills, the next they are gone. Sunny spells and dark shadows move over the hills and the white snow-capped mountains in winter give the Highlands a sparkling touch. The Highlands, and its castles in particular, are often chosen as a wedding venue due to their romantic nature.

Pitlochry

The town’s biggest attraction is the Pitlochry dam and fish ladder which has a new visitor centre; it has two distilleries within the town, the Pitlochry Festival Theatre often called ‘The Theatre in the Hills’ is one of the best theatres in Scotland, if not Britain, best known for its rolling repertoire of 6 or 7 summer plays and for the many other performances throughout the year.

The town's biggest attraction is the Pitlochry dam

The Cotswolds

The Cotswolds area is another personal favourite of ours and is one of England’s most popular destinations, famous for its beautiful limestone villages in a rural setting. In the summer, the Cotswolds offers beautiful gardens, colourful farmers’ markets and a delightful cafe culture. The Cotswolds are superb for walking and cycling.

we recommend a visit to London

London

When visiting the UK, we recommend a visit to London. The Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey are all in the centre of the city.

Not far away from London you will find Brighton. Brighton is unique and colourful and full of beachfront activities and events. From the stunning heritage of the Royal Pavilion, Regency architecture and Victorian aquariums to the seaside fun of Brighton Pier, the Brighton Wheel and the famous pebble beach, Brighton offers something for everyone. We think that it is also a great place for people watching.

You will also discover castles, country houses, parks, forts and gardens in the beautiful Sussex countryside.

These are places that we would recommend on your trip to the UK. Of course you will have your own preferences, and may have in mind some locations not mentioned, we are able to plan your own unique holiday.
