There's also the Museum of Computing in Swindon.

https://www.museumofcomputing.org.uk/

I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to visit it, but if you find yourself in Swindon for some reason, then it's worth a peep.

Yes, I've been on the Magic Roundabout, nearly shat myself and I wasn't even driving.

I'm imagining you tacking it on foot now.

As someone who lives 200 meters from The Magic Roundabout, this is the kind of optimism I can get behind!

I can also highly recommend a visit to The National Museum of Computing.

https://www.tnmoc.org/

While you're there, take a stroll around Bletchley Park as well. Last time I checked, you get a discount when visiting both, and they're right next to each other.

I suppose if someone was en route to visit Stonehenge or Avebury it could be tied in!
