AMENITIES The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and bars, the Leisure Centre, Library, The Old Station Nursery, two doctors' surgeries and a Family Centre. There is excellent schooling such as Faringdon Community College, Junior and Infant schools as well as Ferndale Preparatory School and a wide variety of social groups and organisations. The town is ideally placed for access to Oxford or Swindon and the 66 bus service runs between these two centres every half an hour.
The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and in 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.
