Web Site : Briercliffe 4x4 Centre

Set in around 50 acres of quarry site close to Burnley, East Lancashire the site offers non-competitive off road adventure for all vehicles and is suitable virtually any 4x4 vehicle from new, standard production vehicles right thru to modified, specialist vehicles.

The 50 acres are currently a working quarry so you can be sure every couple of months the site changes. There is a area of the quarry towards the end of the site that has not changed in the last year so there are some very good easy routes. From gentle mounds thru to extreme climbs, puddles to ponds, rocky roads to axle-twisters you can be assured of a great day out.

Be warned the site is on the side of a Lancashire hill that seems to get quite a bit of rain. If you have a soft-top motor do not leave your soft top at home!

Location :

Near Burnley within 15 minutes drive of Junction 12 off the M65 in the scenic hills overlooking Burnley in North West England
