If you’re looking for a holiday with a little bit more excitement than your standard sun’n’sand affair, then have you considered and off-roading adventure break, a little closer to home? The UK is blessed with a wide network of tiny country lanes and off-road routes that provide perfect playgrounds for budding off-roaders.
So, whether you’re an experienced petrol head or it’s the start of a new hobby, we’ve teamed up with Grange vehicles, who stock used Mclarens, to give you 3 IDEAL off-roading uk holiday hotspots.
ULTRA ADVENTURE DRIVING
Ultra Adventure Driving is located in Wales, close to some very impressive mountains such as Snowdonia. These provide the perfect, dramatic backdrop to the site’s two purpose-built off-roading sites. The sites are catered to individual skill levels, so you’ll never feel out of your depth and with waterways, steep climbs and plenty of mud, you’ll be in for a real off-road adventure!
There are also 20 off-road sites located all over the UK with various terrains and features for you to enjoy. Whilst some of the terrain presents an extreme challenge for the more experienced 4×4 driver, others are non-damaging to vehicles and safe for beginners. ATV rentals are also available, for those looking for an even more adventurous experience.
SILVERSTONE OFF-ROAD EXPERIENCE
Silverstone is already famous for its driving tracks (and of course, as being the host of an annual Formula One event) but it isn’t usually considered as an off-road hotspot. Luckily, there is a purpose-built area dedicated to the off-road experience, offering a variety of obstacles and unique driving challenges. The experience can also be tailored to suit your needs, so don’t worry if you’re not an expert. You can also opt to receive one on one guidance from an experienced instructor as you attempt to tackle five different challenges. The racing is here is a real pulse, make no mistake.
WILD TRACKS
If you like a bit of mud (who doesn’t?), then the Wild Tracks off-road circuit in Suffolk is the perfect choice for you. With three tracks available, the most famous of which is the sandy Chippenham track, there’s something to suit every need here.
Obstacles include deep sandy soil and a large watering hole (filed with mud, of course). There’s even an outdoor go-karting track for the kids. Due to its popularity it can get quite busy during the summer, so be sure to book well in advance if you plan on going. You’ll be happy as a pig in, erm, mud.
