Welcome to Imber

Imber is a small village located in the county of Wiltshire, England. The village is situated on Salisbury Plain, which is a large chalk plateau that covers an area of approximately 300 square miles. Imber is known for its rich history and unique architecture, which dates back to the 13th century. The village is home to several historic buildings, including the St. Giles Church, which was built in the 14th century and is considered one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in the region.

Imber is also known for its military history, as the village was taken over by the British Army during World War II. The army used the village as a training ground for soldiers and as a testing site for new weapons and equipment. The villagers were forced to leave their homes and were never allowed to return, as the army continued to use the area for military purposes. Today, Imber is still owned by the Ministry of Defence and is only open to the public on certain days of the year.

Despite its military history, Imber remains a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and birdwatching. Visitors can also explore the historic buildings and learn about the village's fascinating past. Imber is a unique and fascinating place, and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, or the great outdoors.
