Phil Price Rally School
The Phil Price Rally School is one of the leading Rally Schools in the country,
approved by the RAC MSA and a founder member of the British Association of
Rally Schools. The school was set up in 1989 to give people the opportunity
to learn and develop the unique skills of rally driving in a controlled and
safe environment. It is unique in the terms of facilities it can offer, giving
you the chance to experience the most exciting and exhilarating of all motorsports.
The genuine forest surfaces are maintained to such high standards that most of
the top works rally teams use them for pre-event testing.
All cars are fully rally prepared and maintained to the highest standards of
safety and reliability.
Our team of professional instructors are friendly and enthusiastic ensuring your
enjoyment and safety on the day.
Our aim is to give you maximum 'hands on' tuition, so as well as keeping groups small
we use two rally stages:
Stage 1
This is designed specifically for learning the rallying techniques quickly and safely,
enabling you to build up your skills and confidence in preparation for driving on rally stages.
Stage 2
This special stage is used by most of the top works teams and is both demanding and challenging.
You have the thrill of driving the Cosworth with our co-driver navigating you round with pace notes,
giving you a 'taster' of the teamwork and skills involved when competing in a rally.

Walks (Offas Dyke, Bridal Path, Glyndwr Way)
Crossing the border between England and Wales more than ten times in its 182 miles, the Offa's Dyke Path
passes through some of the most attractive landscape that either country has to offer.
Originally conceived on the theme of the famous eighth-century earthwork, the path often
follows the line dictated by the ruthless King Offa himself.
This ensures high ground and commanding views into the mountains and valleys of Wales. Where
the practical reasons the Dyke cannot be followed, as in the Black Mountains and the Clwydian Hills,
the route has been chosen for scenic quality alone. The result is a walk packed with interest, through
patchworks or fields, over windswept ridges and across infant rivers flowing down from the Welsh hills
to the lush plains of England.
