SallyM Says: There are lots of public footpaths around for walking in the local countryside. You can buy a detailed footpath map from the Chiltern Society http://www.chilternsociety.org.uk/, or you can download guided walks leaflets from Buckinghamshire County Council...
SallyM Says: The garden at Gipsy House, the former home of writer Roald Dahl, where he wrote his famous children's stories, is open to the public under the National Gardens Scheme on a few afternoons (2.00 p.m. to 5.00 p.m.) during the summer.As well as the attractive gardens themselves,...
SallyM Says: A steam rally is held in the nearby village of Prestwood on the first weekend in July every year. You can see beautifully preserved historic steam engines (from huge traction engines like the one in the picture to miniature engines with rides for children) and often there is...

Origins at the White Lion: 'Trendy Wine Bar'
SallyM Says: How do you hide a trendy wine bar in a traditional village street? You put it in the shell of an old village pub - in this case the White Lion in Great Missenden High Street. The sparkly bar top and coloured lights can come as a bit of a shock when you enter and discover...
