Stop over Yorkshire to Newquay

We reckon you could overnight at Evesham Country Park if you don't mind being locked in car park! We usually make this our first break stop after leaving home. Plenty of room, free parking, and up the back a decent dog walk. Bit of retail therapy if required as well! Not far to M5 then. Our route for many years was M69, A46, A429 down through Moreton, Stow, Cirencester, then either of routes to M4 where road splits near Royal Ag College.....done Trowbridge a few times!

Anywhere between Worcester and Tiverton as suggested, Malvern,  Tewkesbury, Cheltenham, Burnham, Wellington etc. I would aim to get through the Bristol/Weston area as early as possible. Holiday and weekend delays have started already. Have a good time. 

With a Motorhome I would use SearchForSites.co.uk  website or app  and pick a pub stopover at halfway, but halfway from Sheffield is different from halfway from Whitby and we don't know where in Yorkshire you live. 

Hi there everyone thank you very much for the replys I live in Birstall area Wakefield postcode 

Sorry but my geographical knowledge of Yorkshire is sketchy. I repeat my earlier questions. 

“Give us some clues. How many miles do you like to drive in one go? What route will you take?”

Close to M1 then. Assume you use this, but are you using most folk's routes down M42 to switch to West side of country, or something else? You can look at about three hours on a good run, no traffic hold ups, to pick up M5 other side of Birmingham. Depends how long you want to drive on from there. And what traffic conditions are like.  Any more clues?

I'd definitely try to get past the Bristol area then. But when are you travelling? Weekends in summer are going to be fraught to say the least. Do you just have one driver or are you sharing? In which case, if it's not too far, I'd say Exeter Racecourse - easy to get back onto the A30 for the stretch down to Newquay then.

Yep, get Bristol out of way is always a priority for us. OP is in a MH, which makes the journey less fraught, scope for other routes if desired. We do it in two hops, but got the time nowadays. Stop off in Cotswolds somewhere, then up early and blast the M5 before it gets too bad. We love Exeter Racecourse as well, so much so that we have a few days there sometimes coming home.

CL just off M5 near junction with M50, just up from Tewkesbury, The Willows. Very nice. 

As I said earlier, suggestions will depend on route, who is travelling, etc.....

At peak times it's best to clear the M4/M5  junction at Bristol as early as possible. Delays of several hours can build up from late morning onwards, same when heading north. So either stay south of Brum for an early start through this bit or get up very early to get through before you meet everyone doing the same thing. 

I should add use the route east of Brum due to continuing roadworks till 2019 on the Oldbury Viaduct near the M6/M5 interchange.

Hi Nash,

lots of good advice on here so far, depending on how far you want to get down to on first leg.    However, if you are off soon, most of these sites will be full, especially at weekends.    You need to leave as early as possible to try to get past Weston super Mare for your o/n stop.    The M5 is always very busy and sometimes just a car park on school hols.    I know cos, I can see it from my house.   You need to ring around and try to book a place.     There is a site in Taunton, only 10 minute drive from J25 on the M5.   Web site cornishfarm.com.  Good site for stop over and more likely to have space, but try to book ASAP.

Best of luck with your booking, enjoy your hols...
