Yorkshire Outdoors is an outdoor activity centre set across around 50 acres of countryside near Thirsk, on the edge of the North York Moors. It is run by a small team of instructors and suits families with older children, teenagers and adults who want a hands-on day out. The main draw is the off-road course, where visitors can take a Land Rover over hills, side slopes, mud and water with an instructor alongside. Other activities include quad biking, clay pigeon shooting, archery and axe throwing, and the centre runs family-oriented packages as well as birthday parties. Most sessions are VIP, with a dedicated instructor for each group, and the site has a clubhouse where people can rest between activities, get a hot drink or bring a picnic. The venue is best suited to visitors aged around twelve and over, with some driving sessions open to younger children as passengers or co-drivers, so check age limits before booking.
