Humber Bridge
Sometimes a place you usually only drive over works better on foot. This stop mixes bridge views, foreshore walking and a practical pause near Hull.
Yorkshire and the Humber
Yorkshire and the Humber is one of the most varied regions in England – stretching from the dramatic uplands of the Dales and Moors in the north to the wide, flat landscapes of the Humber estuary in the south, with a long and characterful coastline running between them. For van travellers, it is a region that rewards thorough exploration.
The range of landscapes here is exceptional. The Yorkshire Dales offer limestone dales, waterfalls and stone-built villages. The North York Moors provide open heather moorland, hidden valleys and a spectacular coastline. The East Riding gives you the rolling Wolds and quieter seaside towns. Cities like York, Hull and Harrogate offer excellent urban stops with strong histories and independent food scenes.
Yorkshire also has some of the most van-friendly road infrastructure in England – a mix of well-maintained B-roads, scenic A-roads and quieter routes that make driving through the region a pleasure. Overnight stops range from formal campsites and certificated locations to free roadside options on moorland roads.
The Yorkshire and the Humber posts on this site cover specific stops and experiences from real van trips across the region, giving you honest, first-hand information about what to expect and where to go.
Ings Road, Beverley
Traffic is hard to ignore at first, but by around 9pm this simple hardstanding stop had become much quieter. The stay also covers darkness, O2 signal and the early-morning road noise.
