It’s all a bit Braveheart when you head to Knockhill for 4x 4 driving! This is rugged Scotland at its absolute best & this off
...We have to say this Coniston 4x 4 experience is really rather swanky as they have the smartest fleet of off-roading vehicles ever seen this side of Skipton! At the start of the session these 4x 4s are all in show-room condition with freshly polished gleaming paintwork so let's see if you can get the mud splashes up to the windows... This Coniston estate between Settle & Skipton is the perfect place for a spot of 4x 4ing in the Dales. Well away from any form of public road the land around Coniston Hall is vast. We're talking over 1400 acres. & the best thing about the 4x 4 experience here? The fact that it is purpose-built to give you a both an obstacle route that gives you challenge after challenge in rapid succession as well as meandering trails that cross the seemingly endless moorlands & duck in & out of the forest too. In fact you can go as full-on or as cruisey as you like. The Coniston team ensures each experience is geared towards each driver so if you want to push the car to its limits you can or you can go on a gentler voyage of discovery into the world of offroading North Yorkshire-style. What's more you can invite up to three passengers to ride with you & if you book an hour or two hour session you can even let them share the driving with you so everyone can have a little go. And what a setting it is here at Coniston. Originally a large farm estate the family diversified into offering country activities & providing accommodation. Today there's a large hotel with spa & conference centre boasting Mcleod's restaurant & the Huntsman's Lodge where hungry 4x 4ers can pop in anytime for refreshments. But we must give the last word on this wonderful 4x 4 venue in the heart of North Yorkshire to the fine collection of vehicles. The Coniston crew has invested very wisely in not one but several different 4x 4 brands. There are the chunky & rugged Defender 90 & 110s from Land Rover the tarmac & mud loving Mitsubishi L200 Warrior & the bold & gutsy Isuzu DMAX. With this top-league line up that's what we call a 4x 4 experience!
