'B' Range Firing Point (Disused)

The 'B' Range Firing Point sits exposed on Dartmoor's high ground, a weathered concrete structure that speaks to a different era of the moor's use. Built during the Cold War, it served as a training post where soldiers honed their skills on this windswept landscape, far from civilian interference.

Today it remains as it was abandoned—a utilitarian remnant half-reclaimed by the moorland. Visiting reveals how military necessity once carved its own geography into Dartmoor, competing with the moor's ancient and natural heritage. The site offers no visitors' facilities, only solitude and the broad views that made it strategically useful decades ago.
