The Menwith Hill area offers a huge
variety of activities for the adventurous visitor.
For starters, there are lots and lots of fields, stuffed full of contented
sheep. And long dreamy lanes where you can catch up on the very latest in
defence and large haulage transport. After happily trudging around, you can
quench your thirst in numerous traditional English pubs, boasting a wide range
of healthy local beers.
You will be greeted at the front gate by one of the friendly security staff,
who will be only too pleased to demonstrate some good ol' US Army hospitality.
Then, after picking yourself off the road, you can take in the wonders of an
impromptu exhibition of defence muscle. Ever seen a gun at close range? You
will! What a treat for the children.
But if all that is just too exhausting, then why not relax on one of our
exciting and unique BALLOON tours over the base. We will take you to 1,000 feet,
from where you can get a breathtaking view of the most secret place on earth.
But of course the biggest attraction of all
is the base itself. Crammed full of radomes, supercomputers and radio transmission
equipment, this is a joy for every fun-loving traveller.

And at night, Menwith REALLY kicks off. With over 1,200 US
intelligence staff, the facility gets down after eight for a rollicking,
foot-stompin' time with the local farmers and visitors.

And we'll even provide parabolic microphones and binoculars so
you have a REALLY intimate view of things.
