Two of Britain’s iconic locations can be combined into a fantastic day tour from London through Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.
Bletchley Park
During World War II, Bletchley Park was home to Britain’s codebreakers, including Alan Turing, and played a unique and major role in producing intelligence that affected the outcome of the war. The site now offers visitors the chance to see where the code breakers lived and worked, the Library and wartime garages complete with WWII vehicles.
Featured in films and TV programmes, including the Oscar nominated film ‘The Imitation Game’ – Bletchley Park currently has an exhibition about the making of that film featuring costumes worn by the stars and behind the scenes gems (exhibitions may change). A fascinating look into a once-secret world.
Woburn Abbey
The stunning Woburn Abbey and Gardens have evolved from the original 12th Century Abbey. With Royal connections through the ages, the Abbey is now the ancestral home of the Duke and Duchess of Bedford.
Today the Abbey offers visitors chance to explore 22 rooms housing over 250 works of art, as well as antique furniture, porcelain and other treasures. St Mary’s Woburn (pictured) is a local parish church built by the 8th Duke.
The Abbey is set in a beautiful parkland garden – landscaped areas include an original walled Kitchen Garden, as well as a maze, Camellia house conservatory and many other follies and features. A 3,000 acre deer park with 9 species of deer provides many public footpaths to enjoy.
Tailor make your tour
If there is time, why not combine your visit to Bletchley Park with a visit to the adjacent National Museum of Computing or the National Radio Centre.
These sites are a sample of where you could stop off on a day tour, however it is not possible to visit them all in 1 day.
