Until when?
I went a few years back with another PHer.

Quoted from website.....
When is St Giles Open over Christmas and New Year ?

Popped across there at lunchtime today (rude to not as it is approx 15mins away) must have been the '2CV Owners Club' meet as about 25 of them arrived just after we did!

The road is acceptable but dotted with a few potholes, so caution is advised.

Thanks for this and thanks Dan.

Speed limit is 30mph I think, and you can even buy a cuppa and a mince pie in the church for £1.50

Its not very clean now but otherwise unscathed! Single carriageway mostly and you aren't encouraged to go off road!

I tried and failed to find that tank - where is it?!

Enter from Warminster and you will pass lots of them on the road in!

For those that enjoyed a walk around Imber there is public pathways for walkers on the plain which bring you very close to the 'German Village'

This might be usefull...

If you are driving to Imber via A303 then via Shrewton/Tilshead you shouldn't have any problems

Bit late but went up again over Christmas, stopped at Imber to take a few photos then drove over to Copehill Down and took some more...
