Off Roading Experience in North Somerset
Never driven off road before? Now's your chance to learn how to make the most of the capabilities of vehicles designed to cope with ever-changing off road terrain.
The added bonus of this venue is that it combines dense woodland and more open field environments, each one requiring a different driving style. Accompanied by an experienced instructor basic vehicle control will be learnt on relatively level ground. You will then be shown more advanced techniques that will enable you to safely take on dense woodland exploration. You will need to call upon your new-found skills if you are to make it out unaided - good luck!
The venue is set amongst 250 acres of mixed terrain within the grounds of The Lyncombe Lodge Estate on the edge of the Mendip Hills, boasting stunning views across Somerset and over the Bristol Channel to Wales. Full day 4x4 off road adventures are available in the main off roading section.
