    Tips

    July 21, 2023

    The Meon Valley Trail passes the spot at Droxford Station where a secret meeting took place in a carriage on a hidden siding on June 2nd 1944. It was between Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower, General Charles de Gaulle, the Canadian leader, President McKenzie King and the South African leader Jan Smuts to discuss the final preparations for D-Day.

    The station is no longer there and the building has been converted into a private residency but the dense woodland shows how secluded the spot must once have been.

    There's a small wooden bench here, making it an ideal rest or picnic spot.
