The only major range is Okehampton as we know it D011A/B/C but I guess you know that one ? A small arms range at Millpool near Bodmin. There are Danger Areas off the south coast from adjacent to Culdrose up to and around Plymouth at various heights. D001 NW of Newquay sometimes used for small (ish) arms from heli's. Aberporth range, West Wales is probably the nearest bombing range as such.... as far as I know. Depends what you mean by "range" really.

D119 , ie danger area 119 , active only when notified by notam . up to 5000' in Bridgewater bay . it's a circle diameter about 8 NM , centred about 3 Nm NE of Williton on N Devon coast . Not sure what else , but Yeovilton Helos use it for live firing .
