D-Day Camps in Roydon Woods. Marshalling Camp B8
The remains of several WWII building platforms can be found in the Hampshire Wildlife Reserve at Roydon Woods. The variety of building platforms, concentrated in the north of the woods, show evidence of a camp, possibly the same one identified as Marshalling Camp B.8 (B8, B-8), on an Area B Overlord Administrative Map.
The photos show the Administrative map for the build up to D Day and some of the building bases as they were in May 2013.
If visiting the site at Roydon please respect the restriction of access to bridleways and permissive paths. The website below provides additional access information.
