These Roads Lead To Imber (when open!)..

Open days are very limited and access isn't possible outside these. But assuming that you are coming then these are the roads and the ways to reach Imber village, by car, 4x4, bicycle, foot, and off-road mobility scooter. You must not leave the road as there is unexploded ordnance.

From Warminster

(What3Words ///betrayed.ownership.relaxed) (Google Maps) Imber village can be approached from Warminster (off the B3414). Find Imber Road from Boreham Road in Warminster, and just keep going. Imber village is about 6 miles from Warminster and can be reached by car, bicycle, Tramper off-road mobility scooter (likely no other can manage the hill out of Warminster but three and four-wheeled Trampers can- tried), foot, and on the ImberBus Day (there is no other bus service to Imber at any time). If going by bicycle be prepared for a very long and steep climb out of Warminster and occasionally potentially sharp loose stone surface). If walking there bear in mind that there is no footpath and so you will be walking on the road. You must not leave the road as there is unexploded ordnance.

ROAD CLOSED AS AT EASTER 2026
