Larkhill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Larkhill is a village in Wiltshire, England, on the edge of Salisbury Plain. It is part of the civil parish of Durrington in the district of Salisbury, and is a short distance west of Durrington village proper. It is about ten miles north of Salisbury.
The village has a long association with the British Army, and is the site of Larkhill Camp, currently the site of the Royal School of Artillery.
[edit] Fictional appearance
The comic book V for Vendetta (and its movie adaptation) featured a fictional concentration camp at Larkhill. Alan Moore stated in the notes to V for Vendetta (ISBN 1-84576-182-0), that he chose Larkhill because of the obvious military connections, but also because of a particularly unpleasant hiking trip that he had around the area.
