Britain's What's On Event Guide
World War II Bombing Decoy Bunker
Heritage Open Day: Discover a hidden piece of local WWII history. A rare chance to see inside the Decoy bunker situated within Moors Valley Country Park , which was a WWII bombing decoy. The bunker at Moors Valley was used during World War II to power and control lights to mimic the nearby RAF airfields at Hurn and Ibsley, including a 1km flare path whose location has been identified. This is an opportunity to take a closer look at the bunker which is not usually accessible to the public. Volunteers will be on-site to explain more about how the bunker was used and tell the story of its operation, as well as the scale and importance of Decoy and Deception Techniques to the war effort.
