Longmoor is a scattered settlement in eastern Hampshire, halfway between Bordon to the north and Liss to the south. It is less than a mile from the border of Sussex, marked here by a bridleway to the east at the edge of the Weavers Down woodland.
The boundaries of Longmoor contain Longmoor Military Camp,[1] a historic army camp and training area situated in the Longmoor Inclosure. It is now by the A3 road between Greatham and Liphook.
The camp of Longmoor had its own military railway, the Longmoor Military Railway, from 1903 until its closure in 1969.[2] The railway is notable for being used as a location for a number of films, including The Great St Trinian's Train Robbery (1966) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968).
