If you are holidaying in your motorhome then why not take advantage of the ability to park up and admire the best sea views England has to offer. Cornwall has been a favourite holiday destination for British holidaymakers for years and it is easy to see why. Visit the busy fishing port of Mevagissey and sample some of the finest and freshest seafood around, or take coastal walks that, during the colder months, provide you with views of nature at its most fierce as the waves crash onto the beach and cliff faces. Taking your motorhome down south offers some fresh air and peace from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight has many attractions for all ages throughout the year and with incredible landscapes and beautiful coastlines, it is a beautiful place to take your motorhome.
