This charming new tour is the perfect holiday to visit the home of the secret world of Britain’s World War 2 codebreakers at Bletchley Park and, discover the remarkable collections housing over 200 exhibits at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford.
Day 1
We leave from your joining point and travel across the country to Milton Keynes arriving at our hotel in time to settle in before our evening meal.
Day 2
Today after breakfast we travel to the Imperial War Museum in Duxford near Cambridge. This airfield, important in World War One played a vital role in World War Two. Today it is home to Britain's largest aviation Museum housing some very large exhibits including nearly 200 aircraft.
The site accommodates the British Army regimental museum which includes the Parachute Regiment (Airborne Assault) and the Royal Anglian Regiment. After a fascinating day we travel back to our hotel for our evening meal.
Day 3
This morning after breakfast we board our coach for the short journey to Bletchley Park. This was the central site for Britain's codebreakers during World War Two, and the birthplace of the modern computer. The Bletchley Park workers regularly penetrated the secret communications of the German High Command. A modern visitor centre leads out to various restored huts each of which had a specific role in the codebreaking effort, and a museum housing the original "Enigma" machine. As you walk around you can listen out for the highly atmospheric soundscapes playing snatches of conversation and music, which you would have heard during World War. A thoroughly absorbing visit!
Afterwards we join our coach later in the afternoon and travel back to your joining points.
