Motorhome Stopovers in Stanhope

Stanhope is a small market town deep in Weardale, County Durham, sitting in the North Pennines AONB along the A689. It’s a well-known stopping point for motorhomers heading west through the dale from the A1(M) towards Cumbria — the road follows the River Wear through some of the most open, dramatic upland scenery in the northeast. The North Pennines is England’s largest AONB and one of Europe’s designated Dark Sky Parks.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified stopovers in and around Stanhope — useful for anyone touring Weardale, exploring the North Pennines, or using the A689 as a cross-Pennine route.
