What are the Best Off-Road Trails in the UK?
19 May 2016


When you think about going off-roading, extreme river crossings and muddy hill climbs naturally spring to mind. However, as experienced off-road enthusiasts will understand, this isn’t always the case with many 4x4 off-roading experiences. Some trails promise a real experience for off-road fanatics, while others are nothing more than a looped track in a field. So, what are the best off-road trails in the UK? Here are some of our recommendations to make sure your first 4x4 off-roading experience is worth both your time and your money.

Kirton Off-Road Centre

Kirton Off-Road Centre (Korc) is a huge off-roading outlet based in Gainsthorpe, Kirton, and offers over 600 acres of fully accessible land. Packed full of obstacles, there is a wide variety of terrain, allowing drivers to tailor their trail to their skill level as well as the capabilities of their off-road vehicles. Kirton Off-Road Centre is a pure pay and play facility, meaning drivers pay for a day’s entry and they are given full accessibility to the 600 acres of terrain that Kirton has to offer. Being purely pay and play means that there are no training sessions available at Korc, however, the huge range of terrain means that you’re guaranteed to find suitable obstacles, whatever your skill level.
