Summary
| Description |
English:
Rifle Butts, Tregantle, Cornwall. The Army still has a presence at the Victorian Tregantle Fort above Long Sands, Whitsand Bay. The forts along this coast were decreed by Lord Palmerston to deter the French from invading or attacking naval bases such as nearby Plymouth. Tregantle Fort was completed in 1859 or 1860. These Rifle Butts seen from the sands are one of several used for target practice. When such shooting is taking place this area of the beach is off limits, and red flags warn of the danger. The permissive path past one of the other ranges down to the beach is likewise closed, though the extensive sands running southeastwards towards Rame Head are always accessible as the Danger Area stops at Tregantle Cliff.
