Beaconsfield

Seen in 'Written in Blood', 'Blood Will Out'
'Ghosts of Christmas Past', 'Four Funerals & A Wedding', 'Dead in the Water', 'Hidden Depths', 'House in the Woods' and 'Blue Herrings'.

Pretty Old Beaconsfield is a lovely mix of half timbered cottages, well-heeled shops and enticing restaurants and pubs. Enid Blyton once lived round the corner at Green Hedges, which is just over the hedge from Beckonscot Model Village, a magical Toy Town of 1930s England in miniature that is now the oldest model village in the world. Parking for Bekonscot is beside the interesting Catholic Church of St Theresa; the tower end of the church, with its Martyrs Chapel, is a memorial to its most famous parishoner - G. K. Chesterton.

Milton's Cottage

Other attractions on hand include Milton's Cottage at Chalfont St Giles and the Quaker Village of Old Jordans, where the Mayflower Barn is reputed to incorporate timbers from the Pilgrim Fathers' ship. The garden of Enid Blyton's other Buckinghamshire home, Old Thatch, is open periodically in the summer.
