Prince William Wedding Hire a Motorhome

The announcement finally landed: Prince William is getting married to his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton. The big event is set to draw crowds from every corner of the UK and many visitors will be arriving into the UK to be part of the special occasion. A British royal wedding is a rare event; the last one was back in 2005 between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles. Prince William’s father only attracted a mere crowd of 20,000 happy onlookers when he tied the knot for the second time, the event overshadowed by his first wedding to Diana back in 1981. These days, the British royal family is equal newspaper fodder as movie actors and music stars and William and Kate’s big day will no doubt attract a massive amount of interest. People across the world will look to the UK in 2011 to see the royal wedding. What could be more fun, exciting and glamorous than seeing the memorable occasion in person. For years to come you could be part of this milestone in world history. You might want to keep your eye on the official royal family website for the latest information on the event itself and other interesting information on the history of the British royal family.

The royal wedding between William and Kate will take place on April 29th 2011 at Westminster Abbey.

Instead of spending time and money visiting just the wedding itself, make the most of your trip by hiring a motorhome. The wedding ceremony itself will take place in London, the UK’s capital and a great starting point for a UK motorhome hire tour. London boasts 5 airports to arrive into, take your pick from London Luton, London Stanted, London City, London Gatwick and London Heathrow. Visitors from mainland Europe can even use the Eurostar service in London St Pancras International.

Prince William wedding motorhome hire is available in and around Greater London, search online and book a vehicle before they sell out for the main event. Campsites can be found within walking distance of London Underground stations so you can avoid driving in congested central London if you prefer.

Once the royal wedding is complete you can continue on with your royal-themed tour of the UK. The happy couple met each other while studying at St Andrews University in Fife, Scotland. Famed for its splendid golf courses, historic architecture and breathtaking scenery, St Andrews is the place to be in Scotland for those interested in the royal wedding. Visit the place where the magic began by taking a tour of historic St Andrews University. Later on, pick one of the much-celebrated St Andrews golf courses and enjoy the experience of this relaxing sport.

Your next stop could be Wales, following in the footsteps of the newly weds who will be travelling straight from the wedding to north Wales. Price William is currently serving in the RAF and is based in north Wales and the happy couple will live there together. North Wales is famous for its scenery so don’t miss a chance to see the UK’s highest peak, Mount Snowdon which is nestled in Snowdonia National Park. You can choose from 6 walking routes up the peak or if you’re feeling less physically inclined, a mountain railway will chug you to the peak.

Keeping with the royal theme of your motorhome tour, you won’t want to miss a visit to the several official royal residences in the UK. Start of with the most famous, Buckingham Palace, situated in the heart of the nation’s capital, London. The next official royal residence, as used by Queen Elizabeth II herself, is Windsor Castle in Berkshire. The final official palace can be seen while you’re in Scotland, the eloquently titled Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. The Queen is also lucky enough to have several private residences all to herself (and a few hundred staff members of course!). If you want to extend your trip to residences of other members of the royal family then you’ll find Prince Charles and Camilla at Clarence House in London. You can visit both occupied and unoccupied royal residences in the UK and there are hundreds of former residences to choose from. Pick a few that are near to other places you plan to visit, or make an extra journey to visit your favourite places from British history. Why not try Eltham Palace in Kent which was once home to the infamous Henry VIII (and all of his wives).

Once you’ve seen England, Scotland and Wales you can complete the set by taking a ferry across to Northern Ireland to witness the awe inspiring natural beauty that is the Giant’s Causeway. The only thing you’ll be sad about during your royal wedding motorhome hire trip is that it can’t last forever but don’t worry, you can always start planning for your return trip the following year.
