The Ashcombe Shooting Ground is an outdoor activity centre on the Estate. A self-pick fruit farm in the 1980’s, the adventure playground was designed to keep the children away from pilfering the strawberries. It has to be said that 1980’s Health and Safety was not of the highest standard but the idea remained and the Adventure Centre was formed in the early 1990’s. This gradually evolved into the Ashcombe Shooting Ground over 20 years to become one of the few South West clay pigeon facilities to offer a year-round professional, permanent establishment.
An extensive clay shooting layout includes a high tower, sporting and skeet ranges. One-on-one lessons are very popular. There is also a Quad Bike Safari, and Archery
Come for instruction or just turn up and shoot.
Since 2001 the business has been run by estate tenants. The Sportsman Gun Centre began running the business in 2022 and are in a process of updating and moderisation to make it a premier shooting destination. The Quad Bike Company Devon Leisure is also under new management.
