From the Camp's own website; https://www.nwrfca.org.uk/rfca/altcar-training-camp/ "Altcar Training Camp is owned and managed by NW RFCA as one of the UK’s premier facilities for small arms marksmanship training. The camp lies at the estuary mouth of the River Alt, towards the southern end of the Sefton Coast sand dune system, twelve miles north of Liverpool in the village of Hightown. The estate covers 620 acres of range and dry training areas, and 500 acres of beaches and sand dunes which are available for training when there is no live firing. The site is used extensively by regular, reserve and cadet units from all three Services for military and civilian activities and training."
