Camper Van Rental: Scotland, UK, Literary Adventures

You’ve read the books, watched the films, and the kids haven’t stopped asking when they, too, can get their letter and head off to Hogwarts or step past Nana’s winter coats into a wardrobe world of secrets. School holidays are here and the polite requests have risen to pleas, but guided tours are just too pricey to afford. With camper van rental in Scotland easily accessible and even more affordable, you and your family can forge your own path through tales that have captivated readers for years. Drive and explore during the day, then curl up in the ample berth of your travelling time machine and read to your little ones.

Fort William, in the West Highlands, is a rugged, outdoor escape which painted the perfect picture of landscapes seen behind the Quidditch fields the Harry Potter films. Other impressive Scottish locations, often used for their scenic majesty, include Glenfinnan, Loch Shiel, and Loch Arkaig, among many others.

Northumberland, just over an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, imaginations are inspired by the sight of beautiful Alnwick Castle, known best as the exterior of Hogwarts School. A family home and working castle, this medieval fortress is a wonder read for exploration.

Oxford holds, perhaps, the most dramatic sights to amaze any storybook fan. Contained within the many beautiful buildings are the sites of Hogwarts’ hall, magical library, and more. Only a short drive away lays the home of C.S. Lewis where he penned his famous Narnian Chronicles. Learn about the WWII refugee children who inspired his tales.

London and its surrounds have much to offer the avid children’s book fan. King’s Cross and Euston railway stations both play heavily in the stories, and London Zoo is home to the very reptile house where Harry first discovered his snake-speaking talents. With alleys, gardens, and numerous buildings to explore, this is a great way to top off your literary adventure.
