Ghost town: A tiny English village abandoned during WWII

Explore Britain's southern coast carefully enough and you can still find relics of the dark years when the country awaited Nazi invasion: abandoned radar stations; tanktraps lost in farmers' fields; half-hidden concrete bunkers overlooking wide, shingle beaches.
Then there's Tyneham.
The first glimpse of this tiny Dorset village is from the long, steep road that takes you from sweeping views of the coast down into a small, wooded valley. At its bottom, Tyneham peeps out from behind a cloak of trees.
