Bordon and Longmoor Military Camps

Bordon and Longmoor Military Camps are training facilities situated on lowland heathland in Hampshire. The grounds include specialized training areas, accommodation for personnel, and various support infrastructure across the site.

The camps were established in 1863 as military training grounds. An internal railway system was built in the early 1900s to move equipment and troops between the two locations.

The camps connect with nearby communities through organized events and function as a training hub for military personnel. Local people see the site as an important part of the region's economic and social fabric.

Red flags and warning lights mark active training areas that are closed to the public. Visitors should stick to designated paths that run outside the danger zones.

The site preserves historical military vehicles including an Abbott self-propelled gun and two Chieftain tanks. These machines remain in active use for training exercises, offering a tangible connection to past operations.
