Imber, Wiltshire

Almost all the village of Imber has disappeared and been replaced with an army "village" of shell buildings for training in urban warfare. The MoD says, "The MoD has maintained buildings within the village - including the medieval church - and also enhanced the site with additional training buildings." These are their enhancements.
