It's been a while since either of us has been on a range and we really enjoyed ourselves here, we went for package 2 so got half an hour on each range and were even able to get pictures (safely taken of course). The staff were really friendly and had a great time. We definitely recommend coming here whether you are new to shooting or not.

Such a fabulous renovation of an historic and iconic building, now hosting the town's museum. We were guided throughout our visit by the lovely Val, who was both informative and passionate about Newton Abbot and actively encouraged us to emerse ourselves in the whole sensory experience. Our son especially loved the interactive railway history and wants a return visit, top marks for a 10 year old! Thank you to all who made this a reality.

We visited on a Sunday in mid November. It was lovely to walk around the lake in the autumn warm sunshine, surrounded by beautiful tall trees that are wearing their golden, orange and red coats. We loved a leisurely Sunday walk in the park, breathing sweet scented air, watching and feeding ducks and swans, and observing squirrels from the special aireal walkway observation platform. So, take your kids, grannies and dogs, put on your wellies, pack up your lunch, and head to the stover park for a a weekend afternoon out with your family. And don’t forger a loaf of bread to feed the ducks and swans, and nuts for squirrels! Also the ducks love sunflower seeds as we have discovered today! Enjoy the photos that I have posted here.
