The name usually given to the collection of buildings that forms CHERUB headquarters.

The land on which campus sits was originally a small village surrounded by farmland. In 1940 the British government cleared the area to use the land as an testing range for artillery shells. Later in the war it was used as a training ground for American paratroops.

In early 1940, Charles Henderson began training five boys and one girl in a disused school at the eastern end of the present day campus. Over the following decades, the entire area was enclosed, and grew steadily to become today's sprawling Campus.

The campus is marked on all British maps as an army firing range. Surrounding roads are routed so that there is only one road in and out. The perimeter fences cannot be seen from nearby roads. Helicopters are banned from the area and aeroplanes must stay above ten thousand metres.

Anyone breaching the CHERUB perimeter could face life imprisonment under the State Secrets Act.
