The MoD now own 150 square miles (390 km2) of land, making it the largest military training area in the United Kingdom.

[1] Much of this land is let to farmers or grazed under licence, while around 47 square miles (120 km2) (12,000 ha) are used for live firing, where public access is greatly restricted or permanently closed.

Several installations have been built and since removed, including the Stonehenge Aerodrome and Amesbury and Military Camp Light Railway.

[5] The Royal School of Artillery has been based at Larkhill since 1915, and live firing is conducted on the plain for approximately 340 days of each year.
