During the Second World War, Bletchley Park was the secret headquarters of Britain's codebreakers, where a remarkable team — including Alan Turing — broke the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. Their work is widely credited with shortening the war and saving countless lives.
Today the estate is one of the UK's most compelling heritage attractions: restored wartime huts, the elegant Victorian Mansion, immersive exhibitions, and the world's largest public display of Enigma machines tell the story of the men and women who worked here in secrecy.
