Somerley Estate  

4x4 Site Information and Directions

This is a great site with something to offer most Land Rover owners.  There is a good mixture of terrains to negotiate made up of soft peat soil, there is a pond to drive through, some monster hills and a large boggy section. The site is also used by a paint balling company so it is not permitted to create any new tracks.  This is not a problem as there are plenty of existing tracks to play on.

Once used by Land rover as a Land rover experience course, drivers of unmodified road 4x4s or extreme vehicles will enjoy a great day in this picturesque woodland, check out the pictures on our website for a better idea of what the site is like.
