The ghost village of Imber It's not easy to find the "ghost village" of Imber. On maps its location is a great big blank space, and it doesn't appear on any road signs. You only know you're in the right area when you spot a single "Tank Crossing" sign about a mile south of West Lavington, and glance across to the unassuming little single-track road bearing the notice of whether the roads through the village are open or not. "Not" is nearly always the answer - Imber's only open to public access on a handful of days every year.
Unfortunetly, googlemaps doesn't have a good shot of Imber. Google earth is a little better, but not much. And really, it's less of a ghost town and more of a military training facility. I'm surprised they allow civilians there at all.

Multimap is decent. You can see individual buildings, at least.

Seems very British to have a military training facility you can just drive up into in the middle of a live-ammo exercise.

It's finally downloadable! || Shitty video and a worse codec (VHS -> WMV)
