HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
History enthusiasts will appreciate the property's role in World War II history. In the lead-up to D-Day in June 1944, South Holmes Copse was transformed into Marshalling Area Camp C14. Capable of accommodating over 2,700 troops and 400 vehicles under its dense natural tree cover, the camp served as a final, secure briefing and transit zone for troops embarking from Southampton Docks. Today, the 34 acres offer a serene and private sanctuary embedded in a rich historical landscape.
