Family 4×4 Off Road Driving Trek in Nottingham

Yes, there is free parking available at the meeting point on Kirklington Road, near Farnsfield. We’re located just off the A617 heading towards Newark—200 yards from the A614 roundabout. Once you’re nearby, look out for signage and our team.

Please note that sat navs don’t always take you to the exact entrance, so it’s a good idea to double-check the directions beforehand. We suggest allowing a bit of extra time to ensure you arrive on schedule and don’t miss any of your session time.

Anyone can enjoy the Family 4x4 Trek, as there is no minimum age to take part. It’s designed to be family-friendly and accessible to all, from young children to grandparents. Children aged 6 and over are allowed to ride in the vehicle without an adult, while younger children must be accompanied by an adult passenger.

For younger participants who require car seats, parents or guardians must bring and correctly fit these before the session begins. The session is suitable for mixed-age groups, making it a great option for birthday outings, school holiday activities, or unique family treats.

No, this is a passenger experience. The vehicle is driven by a fully qualified BORDA-trained instructor who handles all the driving throughout the 30-minute trek. This makes the experience safe, easy, and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age or driving ability.

While you won’t be behind the wheel, you’ll still get the full off-road experience. Expect bumps, slopes, twists, and turns that give everyone in the car a feel for what a proper 4x4 vehicle can do.

The 4x4 trek takes place across a 40-acre private site featuring woodland trails, steep inclines and descents, off-camber side slopes, and plenty of humps and muddy patches. The route is designed to be exciting but suitable for families and younger children.

Each section of the course showcases different features of off-road terrain without being too extreme or uncomfortable. It strikes a balance between gentle thrills and safe fun, creating lots of opportunities for laughter and excitement.

The trek itself lasts for 30 minutes from start to finish. During this time, you’ll be driven continuously around the woodland course by your instructor, with no waiting or stopping along the way.

Because the instructor handles everything, there’s no time needed for briefings or gear changes. You simply hop in, buckle up, and enjoy the ride together as a family or group.

You’ll ride in a Land Rover Discovery TD5, a capable and comfortable 4x4 vehicle built for navigating off-road terrain. These vehicles are widely used in the industry for their strong suspension, powerful handling, and ability to manage a variety of obstacles.

The car is driven entirely by your instructor, and up to six passengers can ride at once. With large windows and spacious seating, it’s easy for everyone to enjoy the scenery and thrills of the ride.

No, child seats are not provided as part of the experience. If your child requires one, it is your responsibility to bring it with you and ensure it is properly installed before the trek begins.

This helps ensure the seat meets your personal safety standards and fits your child’s needs. Staff will confirm the seat is fitted securely before setting off, but they cannot install it for you.
