This is a two centre visit to the museum and the library which has an exhibition,, but check the opening times and your journey times if you want to do both. Other places feature in Roald Dahl's life and stories.

Another place to visit is an upmarket restaurant which he used to visit near his home which has illustrations from his books.
http://www.nagsheadbucks.com - mentions Roald Dahl museum and offers two for one offer on website to customers. This is the one with the illustrations. The sister restaurant is the Bricklayers arms.
