This guided walk of 4.5 miles starts from the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden and takes you through the town and into the countryside visiting sites that inspired Roald Dahl’s inventive and sometimes spine-tingling stories, as well as locations which have provided colour and atmosphere to ingenious deaths in episodes of Midsomer Murders.
See the memorial seat and BFG footprints in the churchyard, the tunnel where Roald Dahl told ghost stories, Walk through the woods where Roald Dahl took his dog and mulled over his storylines. Visit three locations and hear how they feature in the plots of Midsomer Murders involving a girl cheated out of a music prize, a dodgy bank manager and an exciting but unfortunate architect.
