Embrace the seasons on a guided Roald Dahl countryside walk

Ramble through the countryside and listen to extracts from Roald Dahl’s My Year in the beautiful woods and fields that inspired the book.

This month we’ll be reading extracts from the July chapter of My Year, Roald Dahl’s last book. In this chapter Roald talks about some of the adventures he got up to in the summer holidays when he was a boy “Preparing to go off on your summer holidays is one of the best moments of the entire year when you are young. Have a great time.”


£4 per person in addition to Museum entry

Option to pre-order a hot drink and scone to be waiting for you on your return for an extra £6 per person – please order by midday Thurs 25 July by emailing hello@roalddahlmuseum.org.

Walk route

The My Year walk leads you across fields and into Angling Spring Wood. There is a short, steep uphill section and a short, steel downhill section. Paths are unmade and may be muddy.  Please wear appropriate, sturdy footwear. Not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs.

“Great to walk in the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside and listen to Michael talk about the life and work of Dahl and read from his diary. Excellent morning. Thank you”

Visitor

July views from the walk

Delicate pink flowers in a field. The flowers are close to the camera and there is long, yellow summer grass behind.
A view over some sloping fields with a line of trees in full leaf in the background. There are four sheep grazing in the middle distance
A close-up of a butterfly resting on a pink flower. The flower is in a field and you can see lush green grass in the background. The butterfly is small, and is black and white in colour.
A view across a feild in high summer. There is a winding, muddy path snaking off into the distance. The sky is light grey, and the grass is brown and yellow so the whole scene evokes a warm, if overcast, day. There is a hilly line of lush tress in the background
