Quick facts
Walk into the actual huts and blocks where Second World War codebreakers worked, including Hut 11A, the building that housed the Bombe machines used against Enigma.
At its peak in January 1945 around 9,000 people worked here and at its outstations, about three-quarters of them women.
Bletchley station, a short walk away, has regular trains from London Euston, and the National Museum of Computing, home to Colossus, is on the same site.
