Copehill Down, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, England, United Kingdom

The Village was built in 1988 to resemble a German village in Bavaria, to provide troops with a simulated backdrop when training for operations in European theatres including the Cold War, the Balkans and Northern Ireland.
In recent years the facility has been expanded to include a Shanty Town made up of cargo containers stacked and laid out in rows of tightly packed streets, to provide an additional training area that more closely resembles the Army's current operational theatres in Operation Herrick and Operation Telic.
Non combat access to Copehill Down is generally restricted, however the facility has been used for regular airsoft wargaming by certain British airsoft event organizers and Historical Reenactment societies, which take part in Private Reenactment Battles.
