Tregantle Firing Range
Highlight • Structure
The firing times for Tregantle ranges are subject to change, so it is recommended to check for up-to-date information. The red flags during the day and red lamps at night indicate that the range is active and live firing is taking place. It is crucial not to enter the danger area when the range is in use, as this poses a danger to life. If you see red flags or lights hoisted, regardless of the timings, do not enter the training area.
To ensure your safety, it is advised not to touch any military debris as it may be dangerous. For more information: gov.uk/government/publications/tregantle-firing-notice/tregantle-firing-times-18-september-to-1-october-2023

Portwrinkle Beach
Highlight • Beach
The cottages higher on the cliff are a legacy of the area's history in the Pilchard fishing industry.
There are a few different bays along this stretch of coast, so you'll be sure to find a spot for yourself.

Seaton Beach
Highlight • Beach
There is a large shingle beach, two pubs and a beach cafe to visit and if you don't like sand, there is a green just behind the beach.
At low tide, you can walk all the way along the beach to Downderry but please check tide times carefully before setting out as the tide rises very rapidly and there is a risk of being stranded.
The entrance to Seaton Valley Country Park is opposite the beach, a former derelict caravan park which is now an attractive area of woodland, grassland and wetlands.
