Bletchley Park

An excellent day out. Bletchley Park, sometimes known as Station X, was home to the famous codebreakers of the Second World War and the birthplace of modern computing and communications. It is now a heritage site run by a charitable trust.

There is a full programme of events and exhibitions including childrens's activities, check their web-site for the latest information.

A guided tour is given, 2hrs in the week and 1hr at weekend.
