Great Missenden, Village in Chiltern Hills, England

Great Missenden extends along a narrow High Street with numerous half-timbered buildings, Georgian structures, and local shops within the Misbourne Valley.

The Missenden Abbey, established in 1133 as an Augustinian monastery, transformed into a Georgian mansion after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in England.

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre presents three galleries dedicated to the author's work, including his original Writing Hut and childhood memories.

Located 38 miles from London, the village connects to major destinations through the A413 road and provides direct rail services to central London.

The village gardens maintain specimens from Roald Dahl's original garden, with local nurseries propagating plants from his former residence at Gipsy House.
