Some places that inspired children's stories
Rudyard Kipling's house where he wrote Puck of Pook's Hill. He moved to Bateman's the year his Just So Stories were published, 1902
A tiny door in the wall of the Oxford college where Lewis Caroll (really a Mathematics professor called Charles Dodgson) wrote Alice in Wonderland
Boats at Pin Mill harbour on the banks of the River Orwell where Arthur Ransome set some of his children's sailing adventures
The woods near Great Missenden where Roald Dahl lived and wrote stories such as Danny the Champion of the World and Fantastic Mr Fox
The windmill from the children's classic movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The steep slope of the real Watership Down in Hampshire
The River Thames where Mole, Ratty and Toad shared adventures in Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows
The house from Lucy Boston's classic, The Children of Green Knowe
