We went there about 12 years ago and, like you, I found it fascinating.
There's a painting of Watson-Watt's experiment just up the road from here near Litchborough where the concept was proved by an aircraft reflecting the signals from the BBC transmitter at Daventry.
I tried to point out that showing the masts in the scene was a piece of artistic licence. In fact the site was chosen precisely because the masts were obscured by (slightly) higher ground. Intention was to suggest the caption should explain that but the point was completely lost on the guy I spoke to.
Interesting contrast with the museum looking at German radar near Caen en.normandie-tourisme.fr/museums-and-heritage-sites/station-radar-44/
