The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is an independent charity-run museum in Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire, built around Roald Dahl's own archive and creative legacy.

It suits families with young children, with high chairs, baby changing facilities and level access throughout. Great Missenden station is just 0.1 miles away, making it an easy stop by train, and with 14 bookable places to stay within 5 miles on BritStays, it's straightforward to turn your visit into an overnight break in the Chiltern Hills.
