Home > Peace camp
The first peace camp was the women only peace camp at Greenham Common set up in 1982. Other mixed peace camps sprang up in Upper Heyford, Daws hill in High Wycombe, Molesworth common, Lakenheath, Naphill and Faslane (where the camp remains). People came to live outside these bases in order to witness and protest against the presence of the nuclear weapons then directed against the Soviet Union. A giant bunker was constructed by RAF Strike Command on National Trust land ( Bradenham Village). Naphill Peace camp was set up to witness and oppose this construction. The Angry Pacifist magazine was produced out of Naphill Peace camp.
