We had a lovely day out ages from 13- 79 yr olds! All walking and easy to get round and not far to walk. Seating available as you walk to various exhibitions there are wheelchairs for use and a free audio guided tour if you would like it. We didn't take the audio and decided to look around ourselves.But the children took the £1.00 Code breaking trail which was very informative and gave you lots to do. After you go through the entrance it is well worth taking the time to look around and find out about Bletchley Park in the first instance. We had a coffee in the cafe which was well stocked then went into the Park. For the 6 hrs we were there we definitely needed to come back again as we didn't have time to see it all. We went around the Mansion and into Huts 11 11 a 3 and 8 to see all about Turin and time line. Then after a picnic on the benches outside the Mansion we finished with the D Day Exhibition which had just opened the day before. Brilliant. We felt the whole park had a calming atmosphere. We didn't feel rushed or it didn't feel crowded. We were taken back into the 1940's. We shall definitely be back to see more and a possible cream tea too. Well done!

Bletchley Park was a wonderful day out for us! It is extremely interesting and gives a great insight into the secret world of the code breakers. As a visitor you can try out the code breaking machines and learn about Alan Turing and his team. Really worth a visit!
