Off road tyres for 700c rims?

Do they exist? If so can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks SW

I use Specialized Crossroads (700c x 38mm) on my hybrid/commuter (5yr old Marin Larkspur) they have
a smooth centre ridge and knobbles so are a reasonable compromise between on + off road (and have
kevlar lining so are relatively puncture resistant).

I use them for commuting (9miles on road, 1mile off road) and light/medium off road trails, they do
the job quite nicley as long as its not too muddy

Can you get these in the UK?
