RAF Travellers Hill, originally known as Travellers Hill Camp, is a small military village of the British Armed Forces, located near Two Boats on Ascension Island, a British Overseas Territory. It was built following the Falklands War to house Royal Air Force (RAF) personnel working on RAF Ascension Island, opening in December 1983.[1][2][3] In addition to residential accommodation, RAF Travellers Hill also contains a NAAFI club complex (consisting of a general provisions store, licensed bar, and 'sticky bun' eatery), cinema, and outdoor swimming pool (one of only two on the island).[3]
