Britain’s Best Disguised WW2 Pillbox: The Beaulieu Dairy House

The village of Beaulieu in the New Forest, Hampshire, has many hidden WW2 secrets. One of the most fascinating is the Dairy House which was converted into a pillbox during World War 2, probably in 1940.

I've been lucky enough to visit it recently, and in this video can show you around what I believe to be Britain's best disguised pillbox position.
