The Tregantle ranges are used for military training and live firing exercises. It is important to be aware of the firing times and safety precautions when visiting the area. 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.

A tucked away, sandy beach on Cornwall's south coast. 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.
