Campervan hire in Sheffield

Helpful tips for your visit to Sheffield

Although it will depend on the weather conditions you prefer when you rent a campervan in Sheffield, if you want less rain and a pleasant atmosphere, you should visit between May and September. We recommend either May or September to avoid crowds, as things will get busier from June/July to August.

• 

  Coastal trips

  Mid-to-late spring is a great option if you don’t mind the changeable weather and want peace to explore the coast. The crowds have not started flocking there at that point, so you will get to enjoy many uninterrupted views and take many of the walking trails along the coast.

• 

  Sightseeing

  Again, it depends on what you prefer, but if you are looking to have a quieter time to explore the various sights and landmarks around the outskirts of Sheffield and South Yorkshire, you should go there either during Spring or early Autumn.

• 

  Outdoor activities

  When you book a campervan in Sheffield, spring or autumn offers the best combination of less-crowded open spaces and moderate weather. There are plenty of outdoor activities along the coast, throughout the beautiful countryside, and in all the small villages across the region.

Best campervan routes around Sheffield

When you rent a motorhome in Sheffield, the best way to experience this beautiful part of the country is by taking one or two of the various driving routes. There are a variety of routes local to Sheffield that offer not just a beautiful, scenic journey but often an exciting adventure, too.

A57 Snake Pass in Peak District
Snake Pass is the other name that describes the A57, which takes you from Sheffield to Manchester. Built in 1821, it is only 26 miles long but reaches around 1700 feet above sea level. As you might have guessed from its name, it is a winding road full of twists, turns, ups, and downs and can be dangerous in less favourable weather conditions.

That is what makes it so exciting. Don’t worry, though; the road will often be closed if the weather is too dangerous. You should take the road because it offers stunning views of the incredible but desolate Pennines. Perfect for when you book a motorhome rental in Sheffield. 

Sheffield to North York Moors National Park
A169 looks very simple on the map and takes you from York to Whitby. However, this route, which stretches out just 93+ miles, involves a lot of driving through the wilds of the North Yorkshire moorland. This is a great route to take when you book a camper van for hire in Sheffield.
