Why Choose a Motorhome for the CCR200?
Stop whenever you like to soak in a stunning view, enjoy a picnic, or explore a hidden gem you stumble across. That in my opinion is the beauty of travelling in a motorhome.

Our vehicles are equipped with cosy heating, a fully functional kitchen, and the luxury of your own toilet and shower. There’s no need to worry about finding facilities or sacrificing comfort. Travelling with family or friends? A motorhome offers plenty of space for everyone to relax, making it ideal for group adventures.
Sights to Remember Along the CCR200
The journey begins in Barrow-in-Furness, a vibrant town with plenty of attractions to start your adventure. From here, the route hugs the coastline, leading you through quaint fishing villages, peaceful beaches, and breath-taking natural landscapes. Highlights include the picturesque Ravenglass, the only coastal village in the Lake District National Park, and its historic Roman bathhouse. Nearby, you’ll find Muncaster Castle, a must-visit for history enthusiasts.
Further along, the Solway Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a treat for nature lovers, with its sandy beaches, rolling dunes, and rich wildlife. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a stroll along the beach at Silloth or enjoy fresh seafood in one of the local restaurants. As you travel, you’ll also come across fascinating historical sites, from ancient castles to Victorian piers.
Planning Your Motorhome Journey
A successful trip requires a bit of planning, and the CCR200 is no exception. Start by booking your motorhome in advance to secure the ideal vehicle for your adventure. Consider your travel companions and the facilities you’ll need. Luna Motorhome Hire offers a range of motorhomes to suit every type of traveller, whether you’re a couple, a family, or a group of friends.
Next, research campsites along the route. The CCR200 is well-served by campsites, many of which offer excellent facilities and stunning locations. Some are right by the beach, providing the perfect base for coastal walks and evenings spent watching the sunset. It’s also worth looking into local attractions and events happening during your trip to make the most of your time in Cumbria. A great resource for this is Pitchup.com
Unique Experiences Along the CCR200
One of the best things about the CCR200 is its variety. Whether you’re a keen hiker, a history buff, or someone who just loves a relaxing break by the sea, you’ll find plenty to enjoy. Spend a morning exploring the hidden coves and rock pools of the coastline, followed by an afternoon browsing independent shops in one of the route’s charming market towns. In the evening, relax in your motorhome with a warm meal, reflecting on the day’s adventures.
The flexibility of travelling in a motorhome also means you can tailor the trip to your interests. Want to spend an extra day enjoying the views in Whitehaven or take a detour to the Lake District? No problem. Your motorhome is your base, offering the freedom to adapt your journey as you go.
