Description

Upton Country Park is a stunning place and there’s no better way to explore its many inspiring sights than by Segway. The best fun you can have on two wheels, these self-balancing marvels really are a must try. Start with a briefing and Segway tuition from a professional instructor before hitting the practice area to get used to the controls. Once confident, set out on a Segway tour of this country estate and ride through the grounds of Upton House, soak in stunning views across Holes Bay, pass many unique native plants and wildlife and head into Grove Woods. Once in woodland, take your chance pick up the pace and see what the Segway is really made of by cruising over the many bumps and humps of the demanding off road terrain.
