Little Imber on the Downe,
Seven miles from any Towne,
Sheep bleats the unly sound,
Life twer sweet with ne'er a vrown,
Oh let us bide on Imber Downe

Imber village was evacuated in late 1943 to provide a facility for US troops to train in street fighting prior to D-Day.

There are precious few original buildings left, and the village remains in the middle of a live firing area. It is only open to the public a few days of the year.
