Sitting on the banks of any river brings a certain character to a place, and Farndon is defined by its relationship with the Trent. Located just a couple of miles southwest of Newark-on-Trent, it’s a village that manages to feel distinct despite its proximity to the town. Historically, it was a point of significance on the Fosse Way, and you can still see the Roman influence in the local geography, though today it’s more associated with its extensive marina and the riverside paths that lead toward the Farndon Willow Holt nature reserve. The village icons are undoubtedly the 14th-century St Peter’s Church and the local pubs that overlook the water, which tend to be the hub of the community. It’s a practical spot for getting around, as the A46 and A1 are both within easy reach, and the mainline trains from Newark North Gate make London feel closer than the maps suggest. It stays quiet, though, with the daily rhythm mostly revolving around the river, the village primary school, and a network of well-used footpaths.
