Bletchley Park – Home of the Codebreakers
There is so much information to read and films to watch that it is not possible to take it all in on one visit,
but you get a good idea of just how difficult and vital their work was. It is quite amazing that they were
able to keep the whole operation secret when up to 9,000 people were working there at one stage and
being billeted all around the village. Despite the importance of their work, it was not recognised in the
way that it was with medals for those in the field, as it could not be talked about.
St Mary’ Church & Gardens & English Martyrs Church
St. Mary’ Church & Gardens is a historic Pilgrim Inn c1450. The gardens cover 5 acres and include a rose garden, Terracotta garden, English Poetry Garden & Landscape Water Garden. We will have a private tour of the house which I can highly recommend. Refreshments available £3.00 – 5.00
After lunch at Haskins Garden Centre Roundhouse, we visit the English Martyrs Church to see a 2/3 scale copy of the Sistine Chapel Ceiling, the only known copy in the world
The price depends on the number of people, but I expect to be able to keep it to £30.00
Snowdrops at Welford Park, near Lambourn.
You only need to stroll around the beech wood at Welford Park taking in the spectacular carpet, and Breathing the delicate scent, to know this natural phenomenon is very special.
There is a marquee serving hot drinks, homemade cakes, homemade soup and a selection of light
lunches. There is also a shepherd’s hut on the front lawn serving hot drinks.
