Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory is home to a number of large aperture synthesis radio telescopes, including the 'One-Mile' and '5km' instruments. It was founded under Martin Ryle (with Antony Hewish and others) in the late 1950's as a field-site of the Radio-Astronomy Group of the Cavendish Laboratory

The site is located at Lord's Bridge, Cambridgeshire on a former ordnance storage facility, next to the now-abandoned Cambridge-Bedford railway line. A portion of the track bed of the old line, running nearly East-West for several miles, was used to form the main part of the '5km' radio-telescope
