Coniston Off-Road Centre — Attraction in Coniston Cold

What an amazing experience! It was a surprise day out and James, my instructor was just brilliant. He explained how the Defender worked mechanically but in a way that I could understand to get the best out of the vehicle.

My session lasted 90 minutes which started in zone 1 to get to grips with the vehicle (& quite possibly for James to make sure that I could drive!) We moved on to another area, which happens to be Land Rover's previous test track, where we had some "real fun" with the Defender. I drove up steps, reversed up steps, drove through quite deep water as well as getting through crevices which were up to 33 degree slants.

Highly recommend this place. - and they even take kids out from the age of 10 (& a certain minimum height).

Great experience and great fun. I smiled all the way round (with my mask on, of course!)

Thank...

We really enjoyed driving through the water.We would thoroughly reccomend this experience .It makes a great present for a birthday or if you just want to...

The 4x4 signature off road experience is amazing. Martin the instructor made the afternoon. His knowledge is unbelievable I could listen to him all day. He explains the what, how and why for all obstacles, he is so calm and funny a real pleasure and privilege to spend time with. The vehicles are immaculate and the course areas are challenging. Bought as a surprise gift for my husband and he was over the moon. Best ever driving experience and will definitely book again. I would recommend the signature experience as you can drive different vehicles and compare them. Thank you Martin and all the team at The...
