Our tips for England

England is made for road trips: Cornwall and Devon for beaches and fishing villages, Exmoor and Dartmoor for hiking and the Cotswolds for honey-coloured villages and cream teas. We've crossed the Channel with our camper and kids a few times, most recently on the way to and from Ireland. London works best as a city break by train: drive in and you pay the congestion charge, and parking is expensive. Outside the cities, expect narrow country lanes, driving on the left and paid parking almost everywhere. Most visitors also need an ETA before they travel. Here you'll find all our tips for London, southern England, the Cotswolds and more.
