Imber is open.

For a different little destination, if you're in the area and feel like cycling through tanks and a deserted military training village, the roads to imber have been opened this weekend.

Rumour has it that they are accessible by road bike from Warminster and mrs P has just agreed to come out and give the new wheels I put on her bike a spin today

No cafe unfortunately, but if you time it right, I might be there with the hexy stove on and will shout you a brew.

Doh.. I'm the wrong end of the country.....
Don't the military have to open it occasionally as it's still a public road?

I think its an MOD road but when they forced the abandonment of the village, they made an agreement not to demolish the church there as there are graves and its a church I suppose.

So I think they have to open it to grant access to the church on religious festivals.

Ahh. OK, cheers.

Ahh. OK, cheers.

Checked today whilst we were up there. You were right, it is public but restricted.
