AMENITIES The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the leisure centre, library, medical centre, dentist, a Family Centre and the Pump House Project. There are allotments further along Canada Lane, which are highly sought after and well-maintained.



Schools include Faringdon Community College which has been rated Outstanding at Ofsted since 2009, Faringdon Junior and Infant schools as well as The Old Station Nursery and Annabelle\‘s Nursery. St Hugh\‘s and Pinewood Preparatory Schools are nearby, at Carswell and Bourton respectively. Buses travel from the town to independent schools at Abingdon.



There are some excellent independent shops in Faringdon, including a butcher, two delicatessens, a toy shop, gift shops, jewellers and four coffee shops as well as Costa, public houses, supermarkets (Tesco and Budgens, with Aldi and Waitrose currently under construction).



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.



The town is served by the Stagecoach 66 bus which runs a half-hourly service through much of the day from Swindon to Oxford and back. The town is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and mainline railway services from Swindon, Oxford and Didcot Parkway.
