Bletchly Park was the home of British code breaking during the Second World War.
Here, brains and sheer hard work managed to crack the Enigma Code and the Lorenz cipher machine code, the latter involving the building of what is arguabley the first moderm computer.
There are many exhibits there - The Bombe Rebuild Project, the Colossus Rebuild Project and the Churchill Musuem plus several smaller collections.
The Computer Museum at Bletchley Park is the UK's only hands on exhibition of computing hardware and software technology. It traces the development of the computer from its origins with the Colossus, invented during the Second World War to break Lorenz codes through the mainframes of the 1960's, mini computers, homebuilt micros to the PC's of today.
