So when it came to writing about quad biking in Nottingham we were going to steer clear of the cliches all about roaming the mystical Sherwood Forest in Nottingham like modern day Robin Hoods & swapping trusty steeds for trusty quad bikes. But the fact is you WILL be navigating through the varied forest terrain & yes your trusty steed for the safari WILL be a quad bike! Before you can get quad biking on all the trials & trails of this Nottinghamshire safari you will meet your guides at the ' Base Camp'. This is without doubt a military affair that makes you feel like you're on a secret mission with your ATV
- but one where tea & coffee is on tap all day long! Very civilised but it will soon get full of madcap muddy fun. To start there is a safety briefing & introduction to driving the quad bike as well as time to be kitted out in overalls & helmets. Don't worry if you're not mechanically minded this Nottingham team has selected the perfect quad bike for all levels of rider. Just turn on the ignition & go…not even a clutch to worry about. & what's more there's no faffing around in paddock going round cones you'll be straight off on your safari & straight in to the fun stuff! Then it's off to explore Nottingham's wonderful Sherwood Forest on your 150cc quad bike
- fun challenging & exhilarating! The trek begins with a gentle woodland path & a couple of circuits round a woodland track to get you used to the bike. After that your guide will take you off through shaded pine forest more challenging bumps & rollers through the clearings & even some man-made mega humps & drops! It's great fun roaming the forest but going quad biking in Nottingham can be mucky work so be sure to bring suitable outdoor clothes & shoes but maybe leave the green tights & Friar Tuck outfits at home! Many more gift ideas suitable for family & friends & for any special occasion can be found on our main gifts section here.

Here's double trouble with a duo of challenging tracks when you hit the accelerator & go quad biking in Leeds! With two circuits nestled in the woodland this is a unique venue in Yorkshire to get on a quad bike & get the adrenaline flowing as you pilot these all terrain vehicles. On arrival at Hazlewood Castle you could be forgiven for thinking you've come for a gentle stroll around the finely manicured gardens surrounding this country manor. But worry not head along the path to the welcome cabin & you'll soon realise you're nestled deep in forest & with all those wonderful natural obstacles to negotiate on your quad bike the Leeds countryside has never been so enticing! Inside the cabin you'll find the quad team. This lot make sure all the Kymco & Eton bikes are well-maintained & serviced ready for your quad expedition. All intrepid explorers need to be prepared & this session starts with a talk about where you'll be going what you'll be doing & how to do it. So pull on those coveralls & full face helmet & you're ready to jump on your quad bike & go ripping it up in Leeds. Well nearly. Seeing as for most guests it's their first time on a quad the instructors here in Leeds all prefer to make sure you're OK with the bike's controls so there will be a few laps around the paddock area. All feeling calm & confident it's time for the off as you play follow-the-leader heading to circuit number one. You'll weave through some of Leed's finest woodlands simply going around any major obstacles. There will even be chance for you to test your nerve as you accelerate on some nice open bits as there's nothing like feeling the wind in your face as you pick up speed on these knobbly-tyred wonder machines. These quad bikes might be fully automatic but they don't drive themselves so you need to become a master or mistress of spatial awareness & steering as you head through gaps in trees only just wide enough for the quads to pass. Thrilling stuff! You will have you own machine for the duration of this expedition into the ferny forests of this Yorkshire venue. Twist the throttle to the max it's time to explore! ...

Get set ready & go zooming around the mud-caked trails when you take on quad biking in Staffordshire! The combination of powerful unrestricted All Terrain Vehicles & a selection of purpose-built tracks makes for an amazing day out for quad biking fans near Stoke on Trent. We've seen this centre from the air & it's pretty impressive. Tucked away from civilisation (and noise abatement problems!) this farmland setting in Staffordshire is perfect for quad biking as its like having your own very big playground to have fun in with no neighbours ready to complain. There's a simple oval circuit to get you started a zig-zagging obstacle course that tests your agility & concentration as well as a criss-crossing trail that will tempt you to let rip on your ATV. At this centre just outside Stoke on Trent your trusty metal four-wheeled stead will be a Kymco MXU quad bike. With a fearsome four stroke engine & fully automatic gear change these bikes are fabulous to ride. They can actually be modified to be road legal but there's none of that here it's all about bumps lumps climbs & drops on this terrain that will test the suspension & tyres to the max. Not that it gives any credibility but we can confirm that Simon Cowell was spotted out in the Caribbean on a Kymco quad bike. & well whilst Stafford isn't quite as sunny we think the terrain is SO much better! What's the point in cruising the tarmac when you can be charging the crust & meddling in mud? We know which we'd choose. In case this is your first time on a quad the instructors will take you through the very simple controls of these bikes. You can then take one for a short spin around the paddock area to demonstrate you know what you're doing & then it's off to play havoc with the horsepower as you & your Kymco race around these exhilarating tracks.A top tip: quad biking in Staffordshire is available all year round so if you want as much mud & sludge as possible late winter is a great time to book in. If you want to go fast a nice dry summer's day will give you the grip to hit the throttle & make the most of the extensive quad biking offered at Stoke on Trent. ...

It's double the trouble when you get to drive both buggies & quads in Oxfordshire! Why have one session whizzing through the dust & dirt when you can have two? This intensive combo experience sees you riding a duo of vehicles on some proper challenging terrain near Bicester. Let's talk buggies. These fabulous little Honda Pilots are low to the ground tough & very very lively to drive. The feeling of power is immense as they are light & small (there's only enough elbow room for one in the hot seat!) so they don't half shift. The Oxfordshire team that looks after these buggies & quads does a great job to keep all the machines in tip-top shape so these 400cc mini monsters will be raring to go. That's the buggies but what about the quads? Well this Oxfordshire fleet consists of Polaris & Yamaha ATVs (that's all terrain vehicles) with various capacity engines on offer so whether you're a nervous first time rider or an experienced driver a suitable bike will be picked for you. They are all fully automatic too so very simple to control which means you can make the most of your ride time whizzing around all over the place with ease rather than stalling & getting frustrated! As for where you'll be going on your quads & buggies well what can we say it's Oxfordshire's finest! The team has purposely created a series of formidable tracks to test you. It all starts gently enough with a run around the paddock then you'll try out some trickier stuff before building up to the likes of the terrifyingly good ' Wall of Death' & the ' Helter Skelter' on the quads & the bomb holes & hairpins on the buggies at speed. All in all you will spend 1 hour with the buggies & the quads here in Oxfordshire. All the gear you need is provided for you so all you need to bring along is a sense of adventure a plucky spirit & a good dose of concentration to guide your four wheeled buggy & quad around in out through over & under everything this Bicester venue can throw at you! ...

Go quad biking in East Lothian & explore a magnificent country house estate! On the edge of Pencaitland village just a 30-minute drive from the centre of Edinburgh you'll find Winton Castle & this is where you'll be quad biking on these fun outdoor sessions. Winton Castle has been described as 'a masterpiece of Scottish Renaissance architecture' & we couldn't agree more. Steeped in over 500 years of history it's now home to the Ogilvy family who host many events activities visits & stays on their lovely estate including these quad biking experiences. In the heart of the East Lothian countryside you've got acres & acres of Scottish countryside to discover on your quad. You'll be zipping along some of the many estate roads weaving through tree-lined trails & maybe even taking on some of the tricky stuff that has been specifically designed for 4x 4 vehicles with ramps & rollers logs & ditches to tackle. Group sizes for these quad sessions are kept to a maximum of six & you'll all have your own quad to ride for the duration. No worries if you've never actually been on quad before as they're all latest generation fully automatics so really easy to control & get the hang of leaving you to enjoy the surroundings. We have to say it's pretty cool biking past the terraced & walled gardens skirting round Sir David's Loch & riding near the banks of Tyne Water
- just some or the many trails around Winton Castle. There's a very skilled forestry team who looks after the estate making it a great place to quad around with some lovely features you might spot! You'll spend a total of around 1.5 hours at Winton with plenty of quad biking time to discover this East Lothian estate. All sessions are hosted by experienced off road drivers headed up by driving & outdoor specialist Hugh leading the group as you head off around the countryside taking in some fun obstacles along the way if you're up for it!
