Map, (2), Kingsley Village and Borden Camp, England
Bordon is a town in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It lies 8.7 km south-east of Alton and forms a part of the civil parish of Whitehill, the adjoining village. Both settlements are on the A325 road and close to the A3 road between London and Portsmouth.
Historically, the town was an important army base with a railway station, as is nearby Aldershot. The camp was first laid out in 1899 by the Highland Light Infantry, directed by Royal Engineers.
Bordon Camp was home to the Canadian Army during both of the world wars and the town is dotted with concrete slabs on which tanks and armoured cars were parked. The Longmoor Army Ranges, a large forest with tracks and firing ranges, is south of the town. Bordon railway station was linked to both the main railway network, and by light railway to the Longmoor Military Railway.
Kingsley is a village in the East Hampshire district of Hampshire, England. It is 3.4 km north of Bordon, on the B3004 road.
