Introduction
On the private Graythwaite Estate, enjoy beautiful views of Lake Windermere in the District's only purpose-built odd-road course with British Off Road Driving Association (BORDA). Delivered by our expert team, we welcome first time drivers and seasoned pros alike. Your two hours driving experience comfortably allow the maximum of four adults to share the driving, or allows younger children to enjoy the ride! If you're looking for longer, you can book multiple vehicles for two hours. For bigger parties of 5 or 6, we can offer a 7-seater so ensure you add this comment to the notes section in the booking process and we can assess the right Land Rover to provide.
For us the best 4x4 is only the Land Rover Defender. To quote Land Rover themselves, Off-Road driving is about going ‘as slow as possible and as fast as necessary’, because this is the best fun you will have at 5mph.
It's important to note after recent controversy that our purpose-built private roads allow us to avoid green lanes and carry out the activity in a sustainable way, a course accredited by the British Off Road Driving Association and the IOPD, that is constantly maintained.
Graythwaite Adventure guests can enjoy our myriad other activities from archery and axe throwing to bushcraft and kayaking, as well as many more.
