<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/blainnn/55013051823/" title="Imber Village"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55013051823_7694d8e13b_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Imber Village" /></a></p>

<p>Imber is an abandoned village in Wiltshire, England, now entirely within the British Army’s Salisbury Plain Training Area. It was a small agricultural community recorded in the Domesday Book and inhabited for centuries before the military gradually bought up surrounding land in the early 20th century.<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1943, during World War II, the British government ordered the entire population—then about 150 people—to leave with just weeks’ notice so American troops could train for the invasion of Europe. After the war ended, the villagers were not allowed to return, and the Ministry of Defence retained control of the area. <br />
<br />
Today, Imber remains uninhabited and is primarily used for military training, including urban warfare exercises. Public access is usually restricted to a few open days each year, when visitors can explore its deserted streets and historic buildings such as the medieval St Giles Church (a Grade I-listed building), old houses, a pub, a manor, and schoolhouse. <br />
<br />
Its eerie state and history make it a notable example of a “ghost village”—a place with deep historical roots that was abandoned for military purposes and retains visible remnants of its past. <br />
