Pontrilas Army Training Area, Military training facility in Herefordshire, United Kingdom
The training complex extends across a large area north of Pontrilas village, featuring specialized zones for various military exercises and tactical simulations.
The site originated as an ammunition depot before World War II, connected to the national rail network through the Golden Valley Railway branch line.
The facility maintains strong connections with local military heritage, serving as a crucial preparation ground for British armed forces and special operations units.
Access to the training area remains restricted due to ongoing military activities, with specific security protocols governing entry and movement within the premises.
A non-operational aircraft replica stands within the grounds, providing specialized training scenarios for military personnel practicing tactical maneuvers.
