Bletchley Park

About

During World War II, Bletchley Park was home to the Government Code and Cypher School (GC&CS), the top-secret organization responsible for cracking the Enigma and even more complicated Lorenz cipher thanks to great minds like Alan Turing. Today, the "Ultra" intelligence base of operations is open to the public as a museum to show how thousands of dedicated thinkers shortened the war by years. A collection of several buildings, including a beautiful brick mansion, Bletchley Park’s exhibits showcase a collection of mind-boggling cipher machines like the Enigma and Lorenz, as well as the technology used to crack them, like the famous Bombe, as well as the groundbreaking Colossus. Alongside these are the stories of the Allied codebreakers, the codebreaking process, and Bletchley’s effects on the War. For more information, please visit bletchleypark.org.uk
