Well worth a visit

 

[hilldweller]

Yes, definitely worth a visit. It's a time warp into a different world. Go on Google Streets for a surprise.

I can't remember where we stopped when we visited.

Certainly worth visiting and needs more than a day to really do it justice .... probably why why when you buy a ticket it gives you free future visits for 12 months.

Don't forget...... Dogs are not allowed onsite (including the car park) with the exception of guide dogs.

So you cannot even leave them in the 'van and return to them at appropriate intervals.

Why? It's a secret!

It's an enigma.

Julia's dad worked at Bletchley on the build of colossus during the war

Sorry about duplication I don't know what happened

When you visit make sure you take the IT provided. When we visited it was via a Palm Pilot.

Don't just listen to the set piece for each location but drill down into the extras for some very worthwhile interviews with ex staff there.

Great visit with knowledgeable guides on the museum area where you can see a cut down "bombe" operating as part of the decoding system.

We visited a couple of years ago and it was well worth it. They were building the new visitor centre, not sure if that will have altered the experience - it really was like stepping back in time. Much of it looked untouched.

Got a fantastic hotel deal in Woburn if I remember rightly

Just a quick follow up for anyone who is interested and hasn't seen it. 'Codebreaker' on Thursday on the 'Yesterday' channel. Alan Turings story.
and for all those who have visited the site is the car park M/home friendly? Thanks
