Bletchley Park, once the top-secret home of the WWII Codebreakers, is now a vibrant heritage attraction. Bletchley Park was vital to Allied victory in WWII. A small group of people, members of MI6 and Government Code and Cypher School, moved into the Mansion – a secret team including Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman and a number of scholars and academics turned codebreakers.
You can look round the mansion itself and the codebreaking huts, the world's first electronic computer Colossus (separate entrance fee £3), The National Museum of Computing and The National Radio Centre.
Even if you've been before, this is a highly recommended visit as there are always new things being added!
