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. 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).
