Car parking
As the Museum is part of the historic High Street, there is no parking at the Museum itself, although there is a pay and display car park off the Link Road less than 5 minutes walk away. Visitors at weekends only have been given kind permission by Chiltern Railways to use the car park at Great Missenden station. Please park only in designated parking spaces in the village.
