Dunkeswell Raceway is an outdoor karting circuit set on a former RAF airfield in the Blackdown Hills of East Devon. The 750m track is open to the elements, and the venue offers rental karting for the public alongside junior and adult racing, with junior rental rounds open from a minimum age and height. Families with older children and teenagers tend to come for the rental sessions, while the wider site suits birthday groups, stag and hen parties and corporate days. A separate laser tag arena called Combat Lab sits on the site, with game areas set in woodland-style cover, and it admits players from age five. There is a bar and bistro on site. The raceway was previously known as Mansell Raceway, named after the former Formula One champion Nigel Mansell, whose family still has a link with the circuit. Booking is advised for most sessions.
