Yoxter Cadet Training Camp

Yoxter Cadet Training Camp[1] is a cadet training area and camp owned by the Wessex Reserve Forces and Cadets' Association and situated on the Mendip Hills in Somerset.

It is adjacent to the Chancellor's Farm biological Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the Somerset Wildlife Trust, Wessex RFCA, Ministry of Defence, and Natural England work together to enable conservation grazing on the site.

[3] It was used for Regular Army training in the run-up and during the Second World War, and afterward, the camp reverted to the TA.

In 1964 the Royal Anglian Regiment renovated the camp and it has been in use by the Army Cadet Force ever since.

The camp has billet accommodation for 100, store rooms, a kitchen, classrooms, and toilet facilities.
