The Armoured Fighting Vehicle School of Gunnery was established at Lulworth Camp on 2 February 1918. The Centre has trained members of all three armed Services. The primary focus is on the Army, with soldiers from the Royal Armoured Corps, the Royal Artillery, the Royal Engineers and the Infantry undertaking individual training on the full range of armoured fighting vehicles, but armoured vehicle training for the Royal Marines takes place there as well.
However, the military association with Lulworth began much earlier

Lulworth Ranges

Highlight • Natural

Didn’t hear any shots fired fwiw. Road is a bit busy but alright to ride on the way to more off-roady sections.

Povington Hill Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Povington Hill, at 198 metres (650 ft) high, is one of the highest points on the chain of the Purbeck Hills in south Dorset on the southern coast of England. Its prominence of 107 metres (351 ft) means it is listed as one of the Tumps, although map sources suggest this honour should go to Ridgeway Hill further east. Povington Hill lies within the danger area of the Lulworth Ranges and is out of bounds during the week, but becomes a popular viewing point and picnic site at weekends and public holidays. From the top there are good views of Worbarrow Bay, the abandoned village of Tyneham, St. Aldhelm's Head, Swyre Head and the English Channel beyond Gad Cliff to the south. In good visibility Portland Bill may be seen. To the north the view extends over the firing ranges on the Dorset Heaths. The hill is largely treeless, being covered in rough pasture and scrubland.

Lulworth Range Road

Highlight • Trail

Beautiful views towards the sea, and smooth riding, and a very nice tarmac descent at the end (on the western side). Check if the ranges are open!

Grange Hill Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Really steep hill. Nice climb and well worth it. However do check that the firing range doesn't mean that the road is closed, or else you'll be going back down straight away!

Lulworth Castle

Highlight • Castle

Lulworth is a tiny village that hides a large castle behind the tall trees of the surrounding park. Lulworth Castle was built in 1610 as a hunting lodge. After the French Revolution, this was one of the places where members of the French royal family who had escaped the guillotine found a safe haven. In 1929 it was destroyed by a fire. Nearly 70 years later, it had been restored and opened to the public.
