I went about 5 years ago. Worth a visit if you are ever in the UK. They have made it into a museum and visitors centre.
Lovely part of our neck of the woods.
As to what Turing actually did has been discussed on here.
Anyway seems apt AI conference is there although Manchester must have some sort of a claim too (a closer neck of the woods)
 
Bletchley Park is now two museums (both excellent and with very knowledgeable staff). The one called Bletchley Park where the AI event is (with Turing's office and many many other things on display) is focused on the WW2 code breaking.

The other one is The National Museum of Computing (TNMOC) that is focused on the computers/code breaking machines (the Bombe and Colossus) used at Bletchley as well as later computer history up to now. This includes having the systems up and running for at least part of the day including the Harwell Dekatron computer which must be the most visually awesome computer in the world.

If you want to see this part of the world Banbury Cross is 30 miles away from Bletchley Park. A nice add on.
