Motorhome Stopovers in Ilkeston

Ilkeston is a market town in the Erewash valley in Derbyshire, sitting close to the Nottinghamshire border roughly midway between Derby and Nottingham. The A609 runs through the town, with the M1 accessible to the east at junction 26, making it a practical stopping point for motorhomers moving between the East Midlands and the Peak District to the north. Ilkeston has a long industrial heritage and hosts one of the oldest charter fairs in England, held annually in October on the town streets.
