Hello. We are a family of three that will be touring the UK (including Scotland) for three weeks in late July and into August. We are looking for advice on whether to travel via a Motorhome (22 ft) or should we get a car to tour.
Our family has rented Motorhomes here in the USA and in New Zealand. Driving on the British side of the vehicle and road doesn't bother me. We enjoy traveling in Motorhomes and find it nice to chat with others at holiday parks.
We plan to visit Bath, Wells, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, Cardiff, Stratford, Cotswolds, Liverpool, Lake District, Glasgow, Oban Inverness, Edinburgh, Durham, York
Our questions are:
1) Is camping and Motorhome touring popular in the UK including Scotland?
2) Is it difficult to find holiday parks? Do i have to book them weeks or months in advance? We usually don't plan very far in advance while traveling so can we get holiday parks at the last minute?
3) For cities, can I park outside and take a train or bus into say Edinbourgh, etc?
4) What about narrow roads? I hear there are many there? I was on some narrow roads in New Zealand and it was no big deal. In the Scottish highlands and in the Lakes District, am I going to have problems?
Thank you for your responses and feedback.
