I’m from Bletchley (and actually lived in a housing development built on some of the land that the trust that owned the park sold, inventively named Bletchley Park)! Historically (as in,5/6 years ago), Bletchley Park was in dire need of major upkeep work and stimulus to keep it open. It’s only been since the Turing film came out that the Park received a ton of funding and managed to pull itself into the modern era as a museum and afford all of the expensive work that needed to be done to restore the machines. I remember walking around there as a kid with my dad (perhaps 15 years ago or so) and there was considerably less content and working machinery. I only remember seeing an enigma machine - the emphasis was much more around life during WW2 and general military technology. Nowadays the focus is on signal intelligence and code breaking, and is honestly much more interesting. We always go there once every year or so to check it out and see new exhibits, but still haven’t visited the now separate computing museum on the main site. Can’t recommend visiting Bletchley Park highly enough if you’re in the UK, only a 30 to 45 minute train journey out of London, and the park is literally opposite Bletchley train station. If you do visit, don’t be under the impression that the town of Bletchley that houses the park is equally as beautiful - it’s not. Don’t visit the town. You will be very, very disappointed if you’re a foreign tourist on a day trip.
