This is well worth a visit - there are some untidy local yards on your approach from the E but put those behind you, forget about them, get on to the site with permission (there are no footpaths) and you seem to be bathed in a feeling of purpose - then on leaving look through the woods on the N bank of the river - the Camp is well up above you and you know immediately why it was built there - it commands the crossing
