Military Intelligence Museum - Shefford

Fascinating place on an active base. You have to book and take ID such as driver's licence or passport. You get a short tour to point out certain areas, and then you are free to roam within the building, not the site! This smashing museum is a charity and relies on donations. There is plenty of parking, the place is accessible and all on one level. No restaurant but water cooler.

Excellent small museum. You need to arrange a visit in advance, you can't just pop in. But if you have any interest in the subject it is well worthwhile. Les was an excellent guide and we spent a very interesting couple of hours here.

Having just spent 2 very enjoyable evenings at the Military Intelligence Museum with our cubs troops. I can not recommend a visit to this place highly enough!
With Bill (ex Army intel) teaching the kids about codes and cyfers, and Emma and Cam helping the kids with the works sheets as we went around the exhibitions.
You can't help but walk away feeling like you've have learned something, with time just flying by.
A perfect way to entertain the whole family for an afternoon.

Thanks guys, you where great!

Fabulous Museum with so much to see and understand how the military found information and deployed that new knowledge to forces for over 200 years.

Free entrance but needs booking ahead to register and pass through tough security arrangements. Not for the Museum necessarily but for all the intelligence services on campus.

Go but take your time to look, read, ponder and question the staff so you really understand the subject.

We were so well looked after and we send grateful thanks for all that.

Be prepared, once a Scout, always a Scout.

This museum does what it says on the tin, and focuses on military intelligence. Starting from ancient times thru WW2, Northern Island, the falklands and right up to Iraq and Afghan conflicts. Aerial photography is a strong feature, and there is a lot of equipment displayed relating to this. It is on a military base so you’ll need to email them a few days before you want to visit and fill in a form, but that’s easy enough. There’s no cafe, gift shop, picnic area, playground of course.

I visited today and was shown around the whole Intelligence Museum, which is a TARDIS!!
Major Bill Steadman, who showed me around all the exhibits was an absolute mine of information, and knew the back stories of every exhibit.
The museum is looking for a new home, and can see why; every inch of wall space is covered with excellent interactive displays.
This museum provides a wonderful visit for anyone interested in the intelligence world.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
Well done to all concerned!!
