Off Road Driving in Dorset

In previous posts we’ve talked about hot air ballooning in Dorset and horse riding in Dorset, and for those of you that like your action with a bit more horse power we’re suggesting a few places for off-road driving experiences in Dorset.

Henley Hillbillies is 180 acre family farm where you can ride a quad bike and accelerate a mini out of the bends of a dirt track. The quad bike track is rugged terrain on 1½-mile track, complete with steep slopes, a water splash and mud hole (or dust bowl depending on the time of year!).

Off road karting at Thornicombe, Dorset. Enjoy some high speed, off road driving mayhem in this off road karting experience over courses with hairpin bends, chicanes, fast straights and corner slides.

Rally Driving Experience – a chance to drive a Subaru rally car on a purpose built test stage with a professional instructor.

Of course you don’t always need an engine to go off road – pedal power is just as good :-) This website has a wealth of information about mountain biking routes and tracks in Dorset; routes that will take you through forest plantations, along disused railway lines and along bridlepaths, up hills and down into valleys – often with stunning views of countryside and coastline.

Chesil Beach Lodge is perfectly located as a base for your off road driving experiences. Our accommodation has spectacular sea views from every room and we can guarantee you a very warm welcome.
