   There were "Protected Areas" (I think another category as well), most of   
   the Highlands was a Protected Area.  There were checkpoints and you   
   needed a special pass to enter the area and probably to move around.   
      
   There would be Field Security Police assigned to the area.   
      
   There were smaller ones around various sites also so presumably similar   
   restrictions were placed in the South of England before D-Day.   
      
   By the way, many of the restrictions were very similar to those in WWI.
