Britain's wartime heritage
WWII airfields, bunkers, museums and Cold War sites.
Britain's 20th-century military heritage is unusually well-preserved. Duxford (Imperial War Museum aviation), the Bletchley Park codebreaking site, the Cabinet War Rooms in Whitehall, the WWII coastal defences along the south coast, the Cold War bunkers (Kelvedon Hatch, Hack Green) — together they tell the story of two world wars and the nuclear standoff that followed. This guide picks the most important sites.
