What to see and do with your motorhome hire North East of England

In the North East of England, you’ll find the epic splendor of Northumberland, County Durham and Tyne and Wear. Filled with history, nature, culture, wildlife, and more, this region is one of the best places to escape to on your next caravan holiday in the UK. 

The North East is full of wild open spaces as well as streams, rivers, and coasts ideal for adventure activities and exploration. Try clay pigeon shooting, go on a popular coasteering trip, cycle one of the many routes in Haltwhistle, ride a horse through Hamsterley forest, or catch a glimpse of the 12th century castle to which Newcastle owes its name ‘Newcastle Castle’. 

Because of its more remote location, Northumberland, County Durham and Tyne and Wear are ideal for travellers who want to hire a caravan or motorhome away from the crowds and in the middle of the great outdoors. In addition, caravanning or staying in a motorhome will keep you dry and warm beneath the stars in case the weather changes. You can hire an RV with Camplify once we are live in this region.
