The disused 'C' Range Firing Point sits on the exposed Dartmoor plateau, where concrete blocks, rusted metal fixtures, and earthworks mark decades of military use. These scattered remains are surprisingly evocative—less a heritage monument than a ghostly imprint of the moor's twentieth-century transformation into a training ground.
Walking here among the gorse and granite, you encounter the friction between landscape preservation and national defence. The range is now abandoned, slowly being reclaimed by Dartmoor's weather and vegetation. It's a sobering place that speaks to how thoroughly the military reshaped this ancient moorland, and how nature gradually erases even the most imposing human interventions.
