SurreyCamberley

Camberley lies in north-west Surrey, on the border with Hampshire and Berkshire. 

Set on Surrey heathland, the town grew up in the 19th century around the gates of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, which moved to its present position in 1812.  The military town was originally known as Cambridge Town but in 1877 its name was changed to Camberley to save confusion with the university town of Cambridge. 

Camberley was popular with retired army officiers and in the late-19th century the town's clean air was recommended for people with lung complaints.  As a result Camberley grew to become the largest town in the district.  

Lying 29 miles by rail from Waterloo, Camberley also developed as bustling commuter town.  Recently the town's location in the corridor between the M3 and M4 motorways has created further development. 

The Surrey Heath Museum, housed at the Surrey Heath's Civic Office complex in Knoll Road, charts the growth of the military town and its development as a Victorian health resort.  Other displays include local archaeology, geology, place names and transport. 

Camberley retains its links with the military.  The village of Bisley to the west of Camberley is famous for the UK's National Rifle Championships.  These are held on the Bisley Ranges which are owned by the Ministry of Defence. 

Five miles south of Camberley lies the village of Deepcut, home to the Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut.  The Barracks belong to the Royal Logistics Corps and outside the perimeter of the Barracks, on the northern edge of Deepcut village, stands the Royal Logistics Corps Museum (open to the public). 

The Princess Royal Barracks, Deepcut, has been involved in a controversy concerning the suspicious deaths of several recruits.

Around the village of Deepcut are hundreds of acres of open heathland and woods, mostly owned by the Ministry of Defence.
