Guided Walks
Are you interested in tracing some of Roald Dahl’s footsteps?
Hear about the real people of the neighbourhood, who developed into characters in Dahl’s books. Find out how Dahl took everyday events and places, and applied imagination and exaggeration to create his wonderful tales.
Visitors to Great Missenden are very privileged to be able to witness many sites, which remain exactly as they were during Roald Dahl’s life there. For those which have changed, you will have the opportunity to stop and imagine. Use the skills that Roald Dahl had, and enjoy.


See Danny’s Petrol Pumps – but what was behind the garage that few people know about? Hear also about buildings next door and opposite which hide secrets.
Crown House was the inspiration for Sophie’s norphonage, but two nearby buildings were important to Roald Dahl. You’ll be surprised when you find out why. Neither was linked to his writing, but both very much linked to passions in his private life.
What was this cafe during Roald Dahl’s time in Great Missenden? One clue is in the name, and the red post box is another. Imagine the sack loads of fan mail arriving for Roald Dahl at the sorting office at the back of this building. Look across the street and located there is another building which was the setting for one of Dahl’s books.
When the walk is over, you may want to visit the pub which Roald Dahl himself liked to frequent.
