A413 Road




It has been diverted a number of times over 200 years. In the early 19th century, it was moved north of Little Missenden to create a by-pass for the village. In the 1960's, a by-pass was built around Great Missenden and re-routing has taken place through Aylesbury town centre. In the last 20 years, by-passes have been built for Amersham and Wendover . In the early 21st century, the junction near Towcester where the A413 joins the A43 has also been redeveloped (along with much A43 redevelopment around Silverstone).

That part of the route which runs along the Misbourne Valley dates back into pre-history. In Medieval times, the Cartulary of Missenden Abbey simply recorded the road as "the Kings Highway".
