Dorset: Lulworth Range walks & Tyneham Village, public access information


The Lulworth Ranges are part of the AFV (Armoured Fighting Vehicles) Gunnery School, an important training establishment of the British Army.

The Lulworth Range walks and Tyneham Village are open to the public every weekend and during peak summer months however may be closed at certain times. Please check latest opening times by clicking HERE. The exhibitions in Tyneham school and Tyneham church are open on selected days and timings throughout the year. 

On conclusion of weekday firing, the gates to the range walks are opened as near as possible to 4.30pm on the Friday afternoon. However, this is dependent on completion of range clearance and weather. The range walks will remain open until 8am on the Monday morning.

Range walks include the coast from west of Kimmeridge Bay to east of Lulworth Cove, as well as the village of Tyneham, Worbarrow Bay and a number of other walking routes. For operational and safety reasons, access to the ranges is restricted to specific times.
