Walk route
The walk leads you out of the Museum along pavements past the old, characterful buildings of Great Missenden. We stop to look at buildings which inspired the stories, and gather at Matilda’s library on the High Street. We visit the storytelling chair on the playing field and then head up to the Church of St Peter and St Paul’s, which dates back to the 14th Century and is the final resting place of Roald Dahl. Then we’ll head back to the Museum for some much needed food and drink.
The walk lasts about 45 t0 50 minutes.
Food and drink
We’ll have tea and coffee waiting at the Museum for you on your return. You can also help yourself to a mince pie. Kids can choose from squash or hot chocolate and pick a sweet treat. If you have any dietary requirements, please email us at hello@roalddahlmuseum.org..
