Yardley Chase
Yardley Chase is a fairly large forest in Northamptonshire (England), mainly used for deer shooting, which consists of two similar shaped forests, which are each about 6 miles long, and 2 miles wide, in places. They were used in World War II, to store bombs, which were kept in large concrete huts, which are about 40 feet long, and about 20-25 feet wide, and were used until about 15 years ago, when the Ministry of Defence shut them down, as the scare of nuclear war was over.
