Longmoor Military Railway Depot The Longmoor Military Railway was established in 1902. It eventually became quite extensive, running from Liss Junction (on the ex-LSWR Portsmouth Direct line from Waterloo), northwards to its headquarters at Longmoor Camp, and then on to Bordon (and a junction with the ex-LSWR branch from Bentley). There was also a circular loop of about 3 miles. The photo was taken from a train from Liss to Longmoor Downs station, at the point where the line crosses over the throat of the depot yard. The LMR was closed in October 1969 and most traces of the railway depot have since disappeared. Longmoor Camp and the surrounding training areas remain operational.

Tumuli, Woolmer Forest One towards the right with birch trees on it, another the dark bank at the left. Not noticed for what they were on the map at the time, otherwise I would have tried for better shots. There is apparently another further to the right.

Tumulus, Woolmer Forest The tumulus considerably restricts the width of the ride some way ahead. There are two more mapped here, to either side. They may just be visible in this view, but not so prominent and in the longer vegetation of the heathland.

View east, Woolmer Forest There was a triangulation pillar mapped somewhere in the foreground once (326 ft), but now it has gone from maps and from the ground too, as far as can be seen.

Path on MOD land, Whitehill This runs down to the boundary track of the danger area of Woolmer Forest. A red flag is flying, indicating the ranges are in use, so keep out. The boundary track largely follows the course of the old Longmoor Military Railway, which had a loop built for instructional purposes right round the range area.
