Witley Camp in the First World War Self Guided Audio Tour

Witley and Milford Common was once a bustling military camp, home to around 20,000 British and Canadian troops in the First and then Second World War, before being used by the Polish Resettlement Corps as a headquarters. The camp was dismantled at the end of the war, and the land was returned to The National Trust. Although popular with dog walkers and families, few people know the important history of the site.

Following a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Godalming Museum, Surrey County Archaeological Unit and The National Trust have been working together with members of the local community to carry out investigations across the site. This short audio-guided walk will show you round some of the key First World War areas of the camp using original photographs, sounds and recordings, providing an insight to the life of the people based here over 100 years ago.

Simply download the izi.Travel app on to your mobile phone, search 'Witley Camp', and download the trail.
