    Lots of fun and great step free access - Highly recommend

    The Roald Dahl Museum is extremely accessible and explores the life story and writing of Roald Dahl in a very fun, family friendly and interactive style. It focuses on his children's stories, so is very child focused, but also perfect for adults who enjoy the stories and who want to find out more about Roald's own fascinating and extraordinary life. The Museum is on the High Street in the village of Great Missenden and is a short 3 - 5 minute walk from the train station. Please note the Museum is a former coaching inn and not the former home of Roald Dahl. Also the museum is quite small, however it's stuff with fabulous things to see and do in its 3 galleries. My favourite was seeing Roald Dahl's Writing Hut, and finding out that Roald also had lower back pain like me. Also highly recommend visiting the Archives, having the opportunity to hold and read one of Roald's many school boy letters to his family and see original drafts of some of his most famous stories, makes the visit very special and very lovely.
