NEW FOREST WALK AT RAF IBSLEY (NEW FOREST NATIONAL PARK)

Join me and my dog, Logan, as we continue our series of walks in the New Forest. In this episode we explore the area around the site that was once RAF Ibsley ( a WW2 Airfield in the New Forest).

During our walk we view the location of where the runways used to be, find a "blast shelter", look at Moyles Court (the former airfield HQ & now a school), explore the well preserved Battle Command HQ high up in the woods before taking a spectacular walk across Ibsley Common to our final destination - the remains of a "Huff-Duff" (High Frequency, Direction Finding Station).

The area where the airfield runways (now lakes) & control tower were located is now on private land (there is no public access). I was filming that area at a distance, from the public road, looking over the fence.

Right at the beginning of the video, I state that I am in Ibsley…..in fact I was actually in Mockbeggar (the village next to Ibsley). Sorry for the error!
