Discover Dewsbury
Dewsbury sits at the heart of the Heavy Woollen District in West Yorkshire, a cluster of towns whose names were once synonymous with the production of shoddy and mungo - recycled wool fabrics that clothed much of the world. With our Pontefract depot just 20 minutes down the road, motorhome hire from Dewsbury could not be easier, making it one of the most convenient collection points for a motorhome adventure.
Dewsbury Minster and the Devil's Knell
Dewsbury Minster, properly the Minster Church of All Saints, is one of the most historically significant churches in the region. Its origins stretch back to the seventh century, and the present building contains fragments of an Anglo-Saxon cross and Norman stonework alongside later medieval additions. The church's annual Christmas service, the "Devil's Knell", has been held since the fifteenth century, with the tenor bell rung once for every year since the birth of Christ. It is a tradition that draws visitors from across the country.
Markets and Victorian Architecture
The town's open market, held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, has been trading for centuries and retains a genuine community atmosphere. The imposing Victorian and Edwardian buildings along the main streets are a reminder of the prosperity that the textile trade brought to this part of West Yorkshire. Pioneer House, the art deco former cinema, and the handsome Town Hall are particularly notable buildings that give the town centre real character.
Countryside and Green Corridors
Dewsbury's position at the junction of the Calder and Spen valleys gives it a natural connection to the surrounding countryside. Dewsbury Country Park, on the banks of the River Calder, provides pleasant riverside walking, while the Spen Valley Greenway offers a traffic-free cycling and walking route through the old railway corridor toward Cleckheaton and Low Moor.
Road Links for Touring
Motorhome hire in Dewsbury benefits from excellent road connections. The M62 is minutes away, giving direct access to the Pennines and Lancashire to the west, and to Leeds and the A1(M) to the east. Wakefield, with the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and Hepworth Gallery, is just six miles south. Huddersfield and the Holme Valley are seven miles to the south-west, while Bradford and the gateway to Bronte Country are 12 miles north.
Batley and Mirfield
The nearby town of Batley, just two miles away, is home to the Batley Frontier, a large entertainment venue, and the Bagshaw Museum, set in a Victorian Gothic mansion in Wilton Park. Mirfield, three miles to the south, sits on the banks of the Calder and has a pleasant riverside walk and the Community of the Resurrection, an Anglican monastery with beautiful grounds open to visitors.
From our Pontefract depot, the drive to Dewsbury takes approximately 20 minutes via the M62 and A638. It is one of the quickest and most convenient towns to reach from our base. Collect your motorhome, stock up at the supermarket, and you could be heading into the Yorkshire Dales, the Peak District, or the North York Moors within the hour.
Campervan hire from Dewsbury is equally convenient. Our fleet includes a compact 2 berth as well as larger 4 and 6 berth motorhomes, all fully insured with 24/7 roadside support. If this is your first hire, our packing checklist is a handy starting point.
East of Dewsbury, the Spen Valley stretches toward Cleckheaton and Liversedge through a landscape of former mill towns that powered the heavy woollen trade. Oakwell Hall, a beautiful Elizabethan manor house set in country parkland near Birstall, is one of the most rewarding stops in West Yorkshire and a great stop on any motorhome hire from Dewsbury. The hall was used by Charlotte Bronte as the model for Fieldhead in her novel Shirley, and the period rooms give a vivid sense of 17th-century gentry life. The surrounding country park provides woodland walks, wildflower meadows, and a visitor centre. Nearby, the Red House in Gomersal is another Bronte connection - it was the home of Charlotte's friend Mary Taylor and appears in Shirley as Briarmains. Together, these two houses offer a literary walking trail that connects to the wider Bronte story in this part of West Yorkshire.

Whether you are planning a long weekend or a full fortnight, hiring a motorhome gives you a base that moves with you. There is no need to pack and unpack at each stop, no searching for restaurants at mealtimes, and no late-night drives back to a distant hotel. Everything you need is right there with you, and that makes all the difference when you are trying to relax.
Dewsbury to the Dales and Beyond
Dewsbury's position in the heart of the heavy woollen district means it sits at the junction of several major road routes. The M62 runs just to the north, giving fast access east to Hull and the coast or west toward Manchester and Lancashire. South, the M1 connects to Sheffield, the Peak District, and the Midlands. But for motorhome travellers, the more rewarding routes head north: the A638 and A644 lead through Mirfield and the Calder Valley toward Brighouse and Halifax, or northwest through Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton toward Bradford and the gateway to the Dales. From Dewsbury, you can reach the southern Yorkshire Dales in about an hour, with Skipton and Grassington both within comfortable driving distance for a day trip or the start of a longer Dales touring route.

Common Questions About Motorhome Hire in Dewsbury
What Our Customers Say
“I recently booked a campervan for a short break to celebrate my partners 60th birthday. The whole experience from the initial contact/enquiry with Ryan to our trip around the Lake District and over to Northumberland was so easy. Ryan was always on the end of the phone for any questions or simply with help and encouragement. The van was new to Heaths, the 2/4 berth Elddis and it was very well equipped and easy to set up, everything we needed for our first time. We loved it and will definitely be booking again.”
“Amazing from start to finish! The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. The team provided fast replies to all of our questions, which made everything so easy to organise.

It was comfortable to drive and surprisingly spacious, with plenty of storage and a well-designed living area. The freedom a motorhome holiday gives you is unbeatable. We loved being able to change our plans at short notice, explore different castles, waterfalls and beach wake up to a new view each day.

“We hired two motorhomes from Ryan to travel to St Ives for 7 days, we had the best time & the van's are great! So many features in them made our trip very easy & stress free. Ryan was super helpful & allowed us to extend our stay without a problem. We will be recommending to our friends & are looking forward to renting them again for our next trip away! Thanks again Ryan”
“This was out first experience of traveling away in a motorhome with zero previous experience. Ryan could not have been more helpful from the first time of taking the enquiry to the handover process. We did have a few questions about how certain things worked whilst we were away and he responded immediately without any fuss. Ryan could not have done any more and went above and beyond what we ever expected to make our experience as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible. First class service from start to finish would definitely have no hesitation in recommending and we are already trying to plan our next motorhome holiday with Heaths Motorhomes!”
“This was the first time we had hired a mobile home. Ryan made this an easy experience, with full demonstration of the features and phone back up if required. He also offered plenty of good advise for our trip. The home was in spotless, well equipped and was perfect for our needs. Collection and drop off was easy and very close to the A1. We will certainly use Heaths Motorhomes again.”
“Top service from Ryan, Very helpful from start to finish. Myself and my wife hired the motorhome for our trip around the NC500, Everything was very clean and easy to use straight away. Ryan was only a phone call or Message away if we needed any advise. Would highly recommend using Heaths Motorhome Hire for any occasion”
“We rented one of Healths luxury motorhomes for a month. The motorhome was beautiful, clean and spacious and very comfortable to drive and we should know as we drove more than 2500 miles around europe. Me, my husband, our 14yr old son and our dog enjoyed everything about the motorhome. It had everything we needed for our epic family adventure. Now moving on to Ryan, the owner of this small company, from day 1 (back in January) he's been very responsive to ALL my messages, before the collection he sent us alot of information ready for our holiday, during the month of rental he has been on hand as and when we needed him and when my handbag was stolen with our passports in, he showed nothing but empathy and sympathy and went out of his way to make everything less stressful for us. I'm extremely greatful for his exceptional service and personal attitude.”
“I cannot thank Ryan and Heaths Motorhome hire enough, it was a long time in the making to surprise my partner for his 40th Birthday. We have just got back from our trip in Wales and it was fantastic! The motorhome was immaculate, communication prior, in the week leading up and during our trip was amazing! Ryan was hands on, when we needed anything even though he was on a family holiday himself. The whole experience was one we will never forget and we’re already planning our next trip! Could not recommend Heaths Motorhome hire enough, simply amazing! Thank you so much!”
“Hired a motorhome from Ryan for 5 nights Wow! What a way to make a trip. As avid campers we decided to take the plunge and hire a motorhome to and a bit of comfort to our lakes trip with our 8 year old, and it couldn’t have made it anymore perfect! It had everything we could possible need and more. It was also incredibly spacious and our son loved the ceiling bed and we all had a great nights sleep. Having so much storage was a big bonus and it was super cosy inside at night. The entire process of hiring and collecting was super easy and Ryan was constantly on hand to check if we needed anything or had any questions. I cannot recommend enough, already deciding where we can go next and hire again!”
“After an incredible 3000-mile European road trip with the family, I can't recommend Heath's Motorhome Hire enough. We traveled all the way from the UK to Stockholm, Sweden, crossing the impressive Øresund Bridge and making memorable stops at Öland and Lake Vättern. Along the way, we drove through and stayed in six other countries—Holland, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France—and our motorhome was absolutely faultless the entire time. The motorhome was meticulously maintained and provided the perfect, comfortable base for our travels. The interior was so cozy, allowing us to get some well-deserved rest after long days of driving and sightseeing. A huge thank you to Ryan for making this unforgettable trip possible. His service was exceptional, responsive, supportive, knowledgeable, everything you need! We'll definitely be booking with him again for our next adventure!”
“We have just got back from an amazing time on the South Coast, The Motorhome was immaculate and Ryan was always on hand if we needed anything. We had 4 kids with us so I wasn’t sure what to expect but the kids had the most amazing time and loved motorhome life. Highly recommend and we will definitely book again.”
“Our first time renting a motorhome and honestly, we couldn't have found a better company to do it with. Everything has been so easy. From the booking to the collection and drop off. The orientation session was a really great service and allowed a novice like me to get an understanding of everything. Communication has been first class all the way through with Ryan and you just know he's there if you need him (which, because of the quality of the vehicle and the orientation session, weren't needed). Can't recommend Heaths enough. If you're considering hiring a motorhome, don't look anywhere else. Trust me.”
“First class service from Ryan, very helpful from the get go. We hired one of his motorhomes for a trip to Silverstone for my husband and daughter, a 6 birth for 2 definitely gave them both plenty of space, everything was very clean and easy to use. Ryan was only a phone call away if needed but everything ran smoothly. Will be booking it again for next yeas trip”
“Amazing holiday to Scotland, the van was huge, with everything we needed and more. Can’t give enough stars. Thanks for helping us finally get the NC500 ticked off our list.”
“Amazing van and service from Ryan. Top spec camper van hire with great comms, hand over and overall experience. We will be recommending to all our friends and family.”
“Back from our first motorhome trip as a family of 4 around South Wales and what a week it was! I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the Motorhome is with plenty of storage space (even for an overpacker like myself). The van has all the amenities you need and more. Ryan was absolutely amazing explaining everything and quickly replying to our many questions before and during the trip. We will definitely be booking through this company again and I would highly recommend. Thanks for making our first motorhome adventure a success!”
“We’ve just come home from a wonderful week away! The van was very modern, clean and well equipped. Ryan was a great host, nothing was too much trouble for our 121 questions 😂 We have already had people ask us about hiring and I hope as many people enjoy this kind of experience! Heaths Motorhomes is the way to do it!”
“We had a wonderful holiday touring Scotland in a Heaths motor home, staying in Loch Lommond, Isle of Skye, Dornoch, Stirling and Falkirk, finally landing back in England with a couple of days in Bamburgh. The van was an absolute delight to drive and live in for the 12 day tour and Ryan went above and beyond from start to finish, explaining the workings of the vehicle with back up videos. We are already planning next year with a tour of the south coast! Highly recommended.”
“OG FRIENDLY 🐾 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ We took a chance on hiring a motorhome for our Scotland road trip – just me, the husband, and one of our dogs – and honestly, we’re now completely converted (pun fully intended). From start to finish, it was a dream. Comfort was top of the list – we clocked up 5–6 hour drives with zero numb bums or backache. The convertible bed? Surprisingly lush! We’ve done Aussie motorhome trips before and this was in a different league – spacious enough for both of us to sleep soundly without an elbow in the face. The motorhome was spotless, well laid out, and had way more storage than we expected – and we didn’t even fill half of it. Bug blinds on every window and door meant we could let the breeze in without inviting in the midges. Dog friendly? Absolutely – and that’s a non-negotiable for us. Lily was living her best life. Customer service was brilliant. Ryan was helpful from the start and incredibly responsive with any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was really accommodating to our specific needs. He came highly recommended by a trusted mechanic mate, so we didn’t even shop around – and I’m so glad we went with him. We’ve now discovered that motorhome life is very much for us. I’m a bit of a snob and my husband has mild OCD, so it’s luxury motorhome hire or nothing from here on out. Ryan, you’ve set the bar!!”
“Just had a week in Scotland in 1 of the camper vans. The van was very clean and had everything we needed. Heaths made everything run smoothly from pick up to drop off. I have recommend them to all my friends and family and will be using them again.”
“Hired 2 vans off Ryan for 2 families to take a trip to south of France for 2 weeks, and the whole experience was amazing! Ryan was so helpful right from the first message and especially whilst away learning the ropes of how to work everything Vans come fully stocked with everything needed, even cleaning products- all insurance breakdown etc covered which meant we could just pick it up and off we go! First time doing anything like this and I'm sure it won't be the last! Thank you for everything 😊”
