Area 51 (near Swindon)

[OwlHoot]

Does anyone know what the secret junction off the M4 between 15 and 14 (east bound) leads to?

It's an unmarked junction (no signs at all) that leads to a gate (I can see it from the M4) that is sometimes guarded by what looks like military types.

I've looked on the fantastic Microsoft local live site.

Here is the secret junction onto and off the M4

Here's what it leads to:

I've been told by locals not to talk about it.

If it's the one I saw detailed in a "secret motorway turn offs" site a couple of years ago, it's simply a handy entrance onto the M4 for Charlie Boy, whose home Highgrove House is a few miles down the A road that goes under the motorway at that point.

Nothing to see here - move on. Oh, it's you sir, this way please, just drive through the farmer's gate down the track and you'll be on the motorway in no time. Good day ...
