Burton Tank Ramp
I tried to visit this WWII landmark recently, as I'm interested in our local history. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be kept very well and the area looks its 75 years!Access seems to be by boat, as the (only) path from the top is so overgrown, it's impassable!Talking to one local man, told me that a group of people who had tried to find a path through, had got lost and had to be rescued by the emergency services...and a helicopter!

The Slipway or Tank Ramp" as it is known locally lies north of the village of Burton Stather on the eastern bank of the River Trent immediately below the steep escarpment that forms the northern end of the Lincoln Edge. It was constructed in the May of 1944 by the 79th Armoured Division and saw military use until around 1948. It's primary purpose was for secret testing of the Duplex Drive Amphibious Tank
