The RSGB National Radio Centre is a showcase for radio communications technology, based at Bletchley Park in West Bletchley, Milton Keynes. Suitable for all ages, it lets you get close to the history, development and technology of radio communication, from its early days through to modern satellite communications, with volunteers on hand to bring it to life whether you're new to the subject or a seasoned radio amateur. It's a good stop for anyone interested in science, history or technology, and works well as part of a wider visit to Bletchley Park. Bletchley station is just 0.2 miles away, and with 26 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's easy to combine with an overnight stay nearby.
