In the town is the 15th Century Nag's Head Pub and Milton Keynes Museum is housed in alovely old Victorian farmhouse. The Grand Union Canal passes through Milton Keynes as well. Lots of modern architecture to be seen. MILTON KEYNES Picture by Kevin Wade Picture by Anna Chaleva My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre can be found in Great Missenden. And so on to CHESHAM, another historic market town in the Chess Valley along the Chiltern Hills. Chenies Manor House, built circa 1640 is close by (no pics!). CHESHAM Picture by Jean Hatton My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
