This week we visited and reviewed the home of the Top Secret World War 2 enigma codebreakers: Bletchley Park, near Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. As always, we looking to find out what it's like, if you should go, and if it's worth the ticket price?

Bletchley Park is an English country house, built in 1883 that became the centre of Allied codebreaking during the Second World War.

During World War II, Bletchley Park housed the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), which cracked the secret communications of the Axis Powers such as the German Enigma and Lorenz ciphers. The GC&CS team of codebreakers included Alan Turing, Gordon Welchman, Hugh Alexander, Bill Tutte, and Stuart Milner-Barry. The highly influential work at Bletchley remained secret until many years after the war.
