An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Great Missenden is a great place to live and work. This picturesque village in the heart of the Chilterns is only 35 miles northwest of London. Earliest settlements date back to the 12th century and the High Street, in particular, reflects its long history with an impressive assortment of architecturally interesting buildings. The community is now well served by local shops, schools, churches and play areas.

The River is flowing! The River Misbourne is a winterbourne, a chalk stream that only flows in winter. This year it started to flow at the end of February. You can see it at Boug’s Meadow (adjacent to the Link Road car park) and at Abbey Park.
