Dog-friendly Great Missenden site in the Chilterns National Landscape
In Great Missenden, 15 minutes’ walk from The Roald Dahl Museum and St
On-site pub with outdoor seating and food; football pitch on site

A pub, a football pitch and the occasional hot air balloon take-off – The Black Horse certainly has a lot for guests to look forward to. Set in the scenic Chilterns National Landscape, the grass pitches are in the grounds of a traditional pub with a cosy interior and outdoor seating. Order yourself a chilled drink or a comforting meal made by the in-house chef. If you’re lucky, you might get to see a hot air balloon taking off from the site grounds; this happens every now and then. When there are no flying objects to speak of, head to the on-site football pitch for a friendly game. Events take place in the marquee at the other end of the field on some weekends, and guests are welcome to join in. The Black Horse is on the edge of the village of Great Missenden, where the author Roald Dahl lived and wrote some of his books. The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre is a 15-minute walk away from the site. There are coffee shops, a food shop and a train station within 10 minutes’ walk of the site, and a small play park within 15 minutes’ walk. Regular events take place in the village throughout the year, too. When you’re keen to explore further afield, head out onto one of the local walks or make your way to High Wycombe or Berkhamsted (both 20 minutes’ drive away) for some classic Chilterns locations.
