Report - Stoke Heath Camp - Aug 20

[Bikin Glynn]

​

Stoke Heath was made up of a number of camps and working sites. Longford was a camp site which included Mess Room and NAAFI. Sutton was a camp site only and personnel used the longford Mess and NAAFI Facilities. Headquarters was situated on the edge of Ternhill Airfield along with work site A. B site was a vehicle repair site to which we travelled on what was known as the Burma Road from Longford Camp. B site is now a Prison. Other sites were Roman Camp and Buntingsdale, married quarters everyone posted to Stoke Heath was issued with a bicycle to travel around the area.(Thought it was a big site)

​

Visited here on way up North with my lad for a few days. If you like natural ingress & peely paint its the place for u.
If you do go please be aware there was a pair of barn owls roosting in the large water tower so avoid that if u can.
Oh theres a lot of pics again

Even found some stalactites

Thanks For Looking​

Hi guys, planning on visiting here soon. Wanted to know if its still abandoned? Went to visit a place last night that was supposedly abandoned only to be greeted by people living there. Would hate for this to happen as its an hour and a half drive away. TIA

No - didn't know they were any at the time.

Looks cool! I’m new to urban exploring myself, I’ve recently been to a few places in my local area but me and my friend who comes along are struggling for destinations

if anyone could give me a message I’d love to have a conversation and exchange locations/photography etc

It's unlikely people will just share locations with you until you have posted some reports etc.
It is however easy to find most places posted on here, take this thread for example, it will take about 2 min to locate with an Internet search if u want to visit it.
