Little Missenden is a compact village and parish in Buckinghamshire, set in the wooded valleys of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The River Misbourne winds through the valley and the village sits close to Amersham and Great Missenden, making it a pleasant mix of rolling countryside, footpaths and a recognised conservation area of traditional cottages and green lanes.
The settlement has a long history with a historic village core of timber‑framed houses and a parish church, and today hosts an active local cultural life including an annual music and arts festival that draws visitors from the surrounding towns. The local economy is largely residential, with village pubs, small businesses and community groups, and many residents commute to London and nearby railway towns for work.
