Not only are these old Cold War Cruise missile bunkers but Star Wars used them in the Force Awakens film as the rebel base

The hillfort on the top of the hill has never been excavated, but the land and ditch are sharply defined and well preserved. This Iron Age fort is roughly rectangular and enclosed seven acres within an embankment and ditch. There are two probable entrances to the east and west. The work seems to have been undertaken by several different labour forces, each working on a section of the defences, but for some reason the task was abandoned and the fort left unfinished. Great to walk along the unfinished ramparts, it's windy and flipping huge!!!

As a child the tale of Watership down haunted me, the movie traumatised me, to finally be able to visit where Richard Adams based it on was amazing. Such a beautiful area, I rewatched the film a day before coming. I'd not seen it since I was a child. Still a harrowing tale, but can see the genius and beauty of what was hidden in it.

Win win walk - not too muddy, and a cafe. Happy teenagers.

Yellow Route around Greenham and Crookham Commons is straightforward, mostly flat, and accessible for various ages and fitness levels. Be aware of livestock along the way, best to keep pups on a lead.

This track is running amazingly at present (September 2024). Nice hard packed surface and some kind people have laid a chalk path at the bottom where it used to get boggy.

Greenham Common is a beautiful nature reserve located in Hampshire near Newbury. The reserve was once a Royal Air Force base, it was also the site of a peace camp used to protest against the Cold War.
