An adorable historic market town southwest of Oxford, Faringdon has much more going for it than you might expect for settlement of this size.
In the centre, the Town Hall is the standout sight, dating to the 1600s and still a cornerstone of daily life.
For all its serenity today, Faringdon Hill to the east has seen some big events, like battles in the succession crisis known as “The Anarchy” in the 12th century and again during the English Civil War when the Republicans had a fortress.
