Motorhome Hire in Lancashire

If you are looking for motorhome hire in Lancashire, you have chosen a county of extraordinary variety. From the rolling fells of the Forest of Bowland to the golden sands of the Fylde coast, from the historic city of Lancaster to the vibrant streets of Preston, this is a region that offers something for every type of traveller. At Heath's Motorhome Hire, we are based in Pontefract, placing you within comfortable reach of the whole county via the M62 and M65 corridor.

The Forest of Bowland and the Ribble Valley

The Forest of Bowland, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is one of the most unspoilt landscapes in England. Its sweeping moorland, deep valleys, and quiet villages feel a world away from the nearby cities. The Trough of Bowland road, winding through the heart of the forest between Lancaster and Clitheroe, is one of the finest driving routes in the North of England and a genuine highlight for motorhome travellers.

The Ribble Valley, centred on the market town of Clitheroe, is widely regarded as one of the finest food destinations in the country. Clitheroe's castle sits on a limestone crag above the town, and the surrounding villages of Whalley, Hurst Green, and Mitton are dotted with excellent pubs and restaurants. Pendle Hill, rising to 557 metres on the eastern edge of the valley, is famous for its association with the Pendle witch trials of 1612 and rewards those who climb it with views stretching from the Yorkshire Dales to the Lake District.

Lancaster and Morecambe Bay

Lancaster, the county town, sits on the River Lune and is home to a Norman castle that has served as a court and a prison for over 900 years. The Georgian quarter around Castle Hill is beautifully preserved, and Williamson Park, with its Ashton Memorial, offers panoramic views across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District fells. Morecambe itself, just three miles west, has reinvented its seafront with the striking Midland Hotel and the Eric Morecambe statue on the promenade.

Our Motorhome Fleet

Our fleet includes 2-berth, 4-berth, and 6-berth motorhomes with both manual and automatic options, and prices starting from 135 per night. Every hire includes comprehensive insurance and 24/7 roadside support. Selected vehicles are dog-friendly, and if this is your first time hiring a motorhome, we provide a full walkthrough before you set off. Our packing checklist covers everything you need to bring.

Blackpool and the Fylde Coast

Blackpool remains one of Britain's most iconic seaside destinations. The Tower, the Pleasure Beach, the illuminations, and the three piers draw millions of visitors every year. The town's energy is infectious, and whether you are visiting with children or simply fancy a dose of classic British seaside, it delivers. Further south along the Fylde coast, Lytham St Annes offers a quieter, more refined alternative with its windmill, manicured greens, and independent shops.

Preston, Burnley, and East Lancashire

Preston, Lancashire's largest city, sits at the geographic centre of the county and provides excellent road connections in every direction. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery, housed in a magnificent Greek Revival building, is one of the finest free museums in the North. Burnley and Blackburn, in the east of the county, sit on the edge of the Pennines and provide easy access to both the West Yorkshire valleys and the open moors above.

For motorhome travellers from West Yorkshire, Lancashire is an easy destination. The M62 and M65 link Pontefract to Burnley and Blackburn in around an hour, while Preston and Lancaster are accessible via the M61 and M6. The whole county is well served by campsites, from coastal parks near Blackpool and Morecambe to rural sites in the Ribble Valley and Bowland. Lancashire offers the rare combination of wild countryside, historic towns, and proper seaside, all within a single county.
