Bletchley Park
Located 40 minutes by road from Hartwell House
Bletchley Park is a place of exceptional historical importance. It remains highly relevant to our lives today and for the future. It is the home of British code-breaking and the birthplace of modern information technology. Bletchley Park was the main location for this country's code-breaking establishment during World War II, producing secret intelligence which had a direct and profound influence on the outcome of the conflict.
Today the site is home to a fascinating heritage attraction telling the story of how boffins such as Alan Turing broke the codes created by German Enigma machines and are credited with saving many thousands of lives and shortening the war by up to two years.
