today is the Imperial War Museum
Duxford, Britain’s best-preserved
World War II airfield. Designed to
spotlight the landmarks of British
aviation history, the museum includes
the historic Operations Block, the
nerve centre of Duxford’s Battle of
Britain campaign; AirSpace, home to
30 iconic aircraft like the Spitfire and
Concorde; the American Air Museum

aces such as Douglas Bader.

Day 3 Wimpole Estate & Cambridge
Today we visit the Wimpole Estate, a
beautiful, 2,500 acre country estate
presided over by the
handsome, 17th century
Wimpole Hall. We can spend time
exploring the impressive Georgian
interiors, stroll the walled kitchen
garden and ancient parkland, and
enjoy the gift shop and café. In the
afternoon we head for Cambridge
where we enjoy free time to stroll
and sightsee as we wish.

Day 4 Bletchley Park This morning,
we make our way to Bletchley Park
where Alan Turing and his colleagues
helped crack Germany’s Enigma code
during World War II. We uncover
Bletchley Park’s remarkable story by
visiting the functional Codebreaking
Huts and Blocks, Alan Turing’s office,
the library, wartime garages (complete
with WWII vehicles) and a series of
compelling interactive exhibits before
enjoying lunch (own expense) in Hut
4, formerly the home of the WWII
Naval Intelligence Code Breaking
Operations.
