Rifle Range Nature Reserve near Kidderminster, Worcestershire
Looking north-east towards Sutton Farm housing (over the tree covered ridge ahead).
The Rifle Range Nature Reserve has an area of approximately 43 hectares (106 acres) and is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its high quality lowland heath habitat, with some woodland. The area was used as a firing range during the 19th century. Remains of this can still be found in the form of concrete tracks, trenches (firing butts) and an old ammunition store. The reserve is maintained seamlessly with the adjacent Devil's Spittleful Nature Reserve.
