The {{convert|620|acre|ha|adj=on}} estate is composed of beaches, marshland, fields and small woods. The range is run by the North West Reserve Forces & Cadets Association.[1] HistoryWilliam Molyneux, 4th Earl of Sefton first made the site available for the Grand Lancashire Rifle Contest on 29 October 1860.[2] He donated the land to the volunteer forces two years later.[2] A railway station was established near the site in 1862 but closed in 1921. The site, which had been known as Altcar Rifle Range, was renamed Altcar Training Camp in 1970.[2] In February 2016 a pavilion was burnt to the ground in a controlled fire to make way for new facilities.[3]GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nwrfca.org.uk/rfca/altcar-training-camp/|title=Altcar Training Camp|publisher=North West Reserve Forces & Cadets Association|accessdate=8 July 2016}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/formbycivicsociety/15010081611|title=Altcar Rifle Range|date=20 August 2014|accessdate=8 July 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.formbybubble.com/#!Dramatic-footage-of-the-fire-at-Altcar-Training-Camp-today/cmi1/56cc7d2b0cf2836ff5d60607|title=Altcar Training Camp|publisher=Formby Bubble|accessdate=8 July 2016}} 6 : Shooting ranges in the United Kingdom|Rifle ranges|Metropolitan Borough of Sefton|Military history of Merseyside|Shooting sports in England|Barracks in England |
