Bletchley Park was the secret home to Britain's top codebreakers during World War II. These wireless telegraphy huts were used by people like Alan Turing to crack the Nazi army's coded messages, such as those sent by the famous Enigma machine which Hitler believed was unbreakable.

Bletchley Park is now home to the new National Museum of Computing, which features a rebuild of the world's first electronic codebreaking computer - Colossus.
