In which English village is the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre located?

The story behind the answer

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is located in Great Missenden, England.

Great Missenden is a village in Buckinghamshire where Dahl lived for many years. The museum opened in 2005 in the village’s former coaching inn and focuses on his life, writing and creative process. It includes material connected with his manuscripts, characters and storytelling methods.

Dahl moved to Great Missenden in 1954 and remained associated with the village until his death in 1990. Local places and landscapes influenced elements of his life and work, and the village is now closely linked with his literary legacy.

The museum is distinct from Dahl’s birthplace in Cardiff, Wales, and from Repton School in Derbyshire, where he was educated. Those locations are also important in biographies of Dahl but are not the site of the museum.
