Rifle Range Halt was located between Kidderminster and Bewdley. The rifle range was situated on the open heathland near "The Devil's Spittleful", the large sandstone outcrop on the right just before the Safari Park as you travel towards Bewdley. During the First World War it was used mainly by volunteers from the Yeomanry. Its location is shown on the extract from the Ordnance Survey Map of 1888-1913 (Crown Copyright reserved). The map of that time still referred to the railway between Kidderminster and Bewdley as the “Loop Line”.
