It closely adjoins the villages of Little Kingshill, Little Missenden and the larger village Prestwood. The narrow and celebrated High Street is bypassed by the main A413 London to Aylesbury Road. It is set in the heart of The Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The source of the Misbourne is to be located just north of the village, although the upper reach of the river runs only in winter and the perennial head is in Little Missenden. The village is now referred to as the home of the late Roald Dahl, the internationally famous kids's author. The village has actually frequently displayed in 'Best Places to Live' lists. The Guardian, for example, included a short article referring to how the village has been 'prime stockbroker belt for over a century' and mentioned favourably on its 'ancient churches, beech woods, deep valleys, rolling Chiltern Hills, higgledy-piggledy streets'. The Telegraph in addition ranked the village fourth in its 'Best Places to Raise a Family in the UK' 2015 survey. Great Missenden lays on a major route in between the Midlands and London.
