Motorhome Travel – A Weekend in Edinburgh

Motorhome Travel – A Weekend in Edinburgh View Our Motorhomes The Scottish capital city of Edinburgh is drenched in both culture and history. Packed with things to see and do, the city is a great road trip destination when travelling in your motorhome. If you have a few spare days, why not hit the capital to see what it has to offer. Take a look below at our quick guide to Edinburgh: Where To Stay in Your Motorhome One of the best places to pitch your motorhome near the city is Linwater Caravan Park in Newbridge. This campsite is located just five miles from Edinburgh airport and has easy access to the city. The site itself is dog-friendly and has a number of facilities including showers, toilets, a playpark, a small shop at reception and a laundry room. The campsite is also a short drive away from some of the best hiking spots in the Scottish Lowlands – the Pentland Hills, and the International Climbing Arena. What To Visit In Edinburgh Transport links with Edinburgh are plentiful with many trains, buses and trams in the city. Additionally, there are a number of park and ride car parks where you can park your motorhome and journey into the city. Edinburgh is packed full of things to do, but if you are there for a short time, here are some of our must-sees. Dominating the Edinburgh skyline is the castle which is built on top of an extinct volcano. A castle has been on this site since the Iron Age and has been important throughout Scotland’s history. Inside the castle, you will find the Scottish crown jewels and the National War Museum. If you visit at the right time, you will see the firing of the one o’clock cannon. After you have visited the castle, take a stroll down the Royal Mile – one of the oldest streets in the city that connects the castle with the Royal Palace and the new Scottish Parliament building. On this road (which is actually longer than a mile) you will find a number of bars, shops and restaurants as well as some traditional churches that you can look inside. For some great cake and coffee, we recommend Mimi’s Little Bakehouse on this street. At the end of the Royal Mile, next to the Holyrood Palace you will find Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat which are great for a walk on a sunny day. Arthur’s Seat is an extinct volcano that has some unusual geographical features. The walk up to the top takes between 30 and 45 minutes depending on your pace, but it is worth it as here you will experience excellent views over the city and the Firth of Forth. The main streets of Princes Street and George Street have a number of shops, restaurants and cafes to visit, while Princes Street Gardens is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon underneath the castle. After a stop in Edinburgh, we recommend heading northwards towards the Scottish Highlands to take in some scenery like no other. Journeying to the Highlands will take some time, however, so take this into consideration when planning your trip. If you do head up north, consider stopping at some of the country’s Munros for some hiking opportunities and check out the many Whisky distilleries along the way.

Cruise Around Germany In Your Motorhome Hire

Cruise Around Germany In Your Motorhome View Our Motorhomes Germany, one of the largest countries in Europe Germany is one of the largest countries in Europe and one of the best ways to explore it is in a motorhome – travelling in comfort across the nation. The country is famous for its Autobahns which are in great condition, making travelling easy. However, with these roads come a number of cars travelling at high speeds and therefore, it is important to keep checking your mirrors and moving with the flow of the traffic. There are many places to stop in Germany, but here are some of our favourites that you can drive between in a couple of hours. The Nürburgring One stop that is vital for any sportscar fan is the Nurburgring. The famous racetrack is located in the town of Nurburg in the German district of Ahrweiler. The town itself is pretty small but it is easy to spend a few days here. There are two race circuits in the area – the north loop, or Nordschleife which is the older circuit that was used in a number of famous races from the past, and the modern Nurburgring circuit – often used for Grand Prix races. These two tracks are placed side by side but do not connect. The racetracks are impressive and built to a high standard. Inside the complex, you will find a museum that shows the history of racing in the area, shops, restaurants and hotels. Take some time to explore this area before taking in some history by visiting the ruined hilltop of Nurburg Castle built within the German Eifel Mountains. Take a Trip to Heidelberg Heidelberg is often cited as one of the most beautiful towns in Germany and is great to explore. Built on the banks of the River Nektar, the town is great to explore. Stay nearby at Camping Heidelberg for an affordable stay that is around 5km outside of the town centre but easy to get to by bus. Walk through the streets of the old town, visiting the traditional restaurants and shops while taking in the historic architecture. Make sure that you cross the traditional bridge in the town centre and then head to the castle which can be accessed via a mountain railway – at the top, you will see views of the whole valley. Relax in Sommerach One hidden gem in Germany is the region of Sommerach, which is a great way to round off your holiday in a relaxing way. The region is famous for its great variety of wines, where you can visit local vineyards to sample what they have on offer and walk around the sprawling vines. Why not hire some bikes and cycle between the towns in the area visiting the local restaurants and walking on the old streets. Be aware that this area is not often frequented by tourists, so fewer of the residents will speak English compared to other regions and menus are likely to be in German. When it comes to where to stay, consider the Camping Katzenkopf which is located within the forest, on the banks of the River Main. The campsite has a number of facilities and a restaurant available on-site.

Explore The Wilderness of the Outer Hebrides in your motorhome hire

Motorhome Adventures: Explore The Wilderness of the Outer Hebrides View Our Motorhomes One of the best places to explore – UK Located in the Northwest of Scotland, the region is packed with remote, stunning islands and some of the best beaches you will see in Britain. If you are planning a trip up North, here are some of our must-see spots: Barra Before heading onto the island of Barra, the CalMac Ferry office has a chemical disposal point where you can empty your toilet cassette before continuing your journey. One of the best campsites on the island is Wavecrest Campsite which is located in the bay. Look closely out to sea and you might see the terns diving into the water looking for some fish, or seals bobbing with the waves. On the island, there are a number of things to see and do, from hiking trails to wild swimming. The beach of Tràigh Mhòr is famous for its white shell sand which makes Barra look like a tropical island in the sun. This beach is also used as a landing strip for local planes! Visit the ancient churchyard of St Barr’s Church to find out more about the history of the island before jumping on a boat to Kisimul Castle. When it comes to stocking up on supplies, and eating out, the best place to do this is Castlebay. South Uist South Uist is a long thin island that stretches through the Outer Hebrides. Gleanndal campsite is a great place to base yourself when exploring the island. Visit the Kildonan Museum to see a great documentation of crofting life on the island as well as details on the island’s most famous visitor – Bonnie Prince Charlie who then travelled onwards to Skye. The island is also home to an RSPB reserve where you can spot a number of different birds of prey, as well as some hairy Shetland ponies. Additionally, explore the wilderness of the island, hiking the coastal paths of the East coast or visiting Orasaigh on the west of the island. At Orasaigh (Orosay), at low tide, you will be able to walk across the sand to a smaller island while witnessing the bright jewel-toned pink and green seaweed – a truly unusual sight. Harris When arriving in Harris, one of the most famous islands in the Outer Hebrides, stay at Seilebost School which is open between April and September. There are also a number of wild camping spots on the island. Harris is well-known for its picturesque beaches that look stunning in the sun such as Seilebost, Luskentyre and Hushinish. For a touch of culture, visit the Seallam Visitor Centre to find out about St Kilda or explore Rodel Church which dates back to the 1500s. Lewis Lewis is the largest island of the Outer Hebrides and is definitely worth the visit. Base yourself at the Eilean Fraoich Campsite, which is open from April to October. Top places to visit include Lewis Castle which dates back to the 18th century, the fortress of Carloway Broch from the Iron Age or Scotland’s version of Stonehenge – the Callanish stones. The island has a number of beautiful clifftop walks where you will spot some of the island’s seabird colonies that fly over the Atlantic Ocean. Finally, stop off at the Lewis Lighthouse where it feels like you are on the edge of the planet, with the ocean sprawling as far as the eye can see.
