'A' Range Firing Point (Disused)

The disused firing point sits among the exposed granite and heather of central Dartmoor, part of the landscape shaped by decades of military training. Concrete foundations and weathered markers punctuate the open moor, evidence of the range that once directed artillery fire across these hills. Walking here, you move through layers of Dartmoor's modern history—the transition from working military ground back to wild moorland.

This is not a manicured heritage site but rather a place to understand how Dartmoor has been contested and used. The firing point invites reflection on the moor's complex past, where conservation, military need, and public access have long intersected. The landscape itself tells the story, with nature gradually reclaiming what was built.
