While planning walks in the Cotswolds for our holiday I came accross this. If you look at it with Google Maps there is a railway linking the two areas together and to the main line. I assume it's some sort of storage area but.....

Anyone any ideas?

Hi Magrat.

Welcome to GEH. We hope you'll have fun here. :)

What you see is the weapons storage area of the Pontrilas SAS Counter-Terrorism (CT) trainer unit.

Here is told more:

Thanks,
I'd been Googling for things around Temple Herdewyke, as that was the closest place, and found nothing!
