HistoryThe site, which was established in 1939, was used as a training facility for troops preparing for the Normandy landings at Arromanches on Gold Beach in June 1944 during the Second World War. In the 1970s the towns of Instow and Arromanches instigated an arrangement whereby families visited each other's town every other year staying with a host family.[1] OperationsThe site is split into two different areas, firstly the camp where the workshops and accommodation are located and secondly the beach located {{Convert|1.2|mi}} south-west which is where the main landing craft are based. The site is occupied by 11 Amphibious Trials and Training Squadron, part of 1 Assault Group Royal Marines, which carries out training for operations which include disembarking from landing craft, wading across a water gap of up to 1.5m (4 ft 6 inches) in depth, an activity known as fording, and arriving at a beachhead.[2] The site is also used for trialling new landing craft: the Royal Marines have been moving away from the use of flat-bottomed landing craft or DUKWs to armed powerboats.[3] The site is available for filming.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://instow-cps.devon.sch.uk/docs/news/1314/07%2002%2014%20newsletter.pdf|title=Instow – Arromanches Twinning Association|publisher=Instow Neews|date=7 February 2016|accessdate=3 December 2016}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/news/2013/august/02/130802-amphibious-centre-opening|title=Prince Harry opens Royal Navy Amphibious Centre of Excellence|date=2 August 2013|publisher=Royal Navy|accessdate=3 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/royal-marines-combat-boat-test-north-devon/story-14228856-detail/story.html|title=Royal Marines put combat boat to the test off North Devon|date=24 December 2011|publisher=Western Morning News|accessdate=3 December 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/WhatWeDo/DefenceEstateandEnvironment/MODFilmLocations/SouthWest/Instow.htm |title=Instow |publisher=Ministry of Defence |accessdate=1 August 2012 |deadurl=bot: unknown |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110305003955/http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/AboutDefence/WhatWeDo/DefenceEstateandEnvironment/MODFilmLocations/SouthWest/Instow.htm |archivedate=5 March 2011 }} 4 : Royal Marines bases|Royal Navy bases in England|Military history of Devon|1939 establishments in England |
