Quad biking at Hazlewood Castle offers the chance to experience the thrill of off-road riding through private woodland trails. Whether you’re new to quad biking or already confident on four wheels, there’s a choice of bikes and courses to suit all abilities. With the historic castle as your backdrop, this is an adventure that blends high-energy fun with an unforgettable setting.
Sessions begin with a full safety briefing and hands-on instruction from experienced instructors who ensure you feel confident before heading onto the trails. You’ll be shown how to handle the quad bike, tackle turns, and control your speed on different terrains. For those hiring wellies, these can be added at the start to keep you comfortable throughout your ride.
Once you’re ready, the adventure continues into 70 acres of woodland tracks, weaving through twisting paths, inclines, and natural obstacles. The 150cc quads are ideal for tackling the obstacle course and balance challenges, while the 400cc 4x4 bikes take you deeper into the woods to test your skill on tougher terrain. Both options are designed to be fun, rewarding, and a true test of coordination and control.
For those who want to extend their adventure, there are package deals available that combine quad biking with other popular activities on-site. These are a great way to make the most of your visit, save money, and enjoy a variety of challenges in one outing.
Options include pairing the 150cc quad biking session with archery, axe throwing, or air rifle shooting. Each package saves £15 per person compared to booking separately, giving you two exciting activities for one price. With a mix of high-adrenaline riding and skill-based challenges, packages are perfect for groups looking for a full day of outdoor fun.
Hazlewood Castle sits between Leeds and York, making it easy to reach from across Yorkshire and beyond. The estate is home to ancient woodland and open spaces that create the perfect environment for quad biking, with purpose-built tracks that suit both beginners and more confident riders. Free parking and facilities are available on site, making it straightforward to plan your visit.
Beyond the trails, Hazlewood Castle has a long history that adds an extra layer to the experience. While you’re here, you’ll get to ride in areas rarely accessed by the public, offering a unique way to enjoy the grounds. The venue’s position near major roads also makes it convenient to combine with other local attractions or activities.
Riders must be at least 16 years old to take part. For the 400cc quad bikes, you’ll also need to be over 5'2" tall and have enough strength to handle the machine safely.
No driving licence is required to join, as full instruction and guidance are provided. Riders should be comfortable with outdoor activity and prepared for a physically engaging experience.
The centre was founded in 2012 by two friends with a passion for climbing and outdoor adventure. Since then, it has grown into an award-winning activity provider offering everything from quad biking to bushcraft, archery, and axe throwing.
With expert instructors, high-quality equipment, and exclusive access to Hazlewood Castle’s private woodland, every session is designed to be fun, safe, and memorable. Whether you’re booking for a small group, family, or corporate team, this is an activity that brings people together while giving you the chance to try something completely different.
