Faringdon Town Tours

Posted on May 14, 2025

The meeting point will Faringdon Information Centre, The Pump House, SN7 7HL.

Faringdon has a rich and fascinating history from mention in the Domesday Book through the Middle Ages, as a Royalist stronghold in the Civil War and, from the 1930s to 1950s, home to the eccentric Lord Berners. All these stories are set upon a unique geology that has been an important crossroads where the east and west from London to Bristol crossed the road from Coventry to Southampton and westwards to Gloucester. There really is something for everyone – fossils, battles, quirky signs and even pink pigeons.  

National Trust Buscot & Coleshill Estate volunteers are supporting the local town of Faringdon with their town tour. Tours will take place on the first Saturday of the month from June to October 2025.  

£4 per person funds going to local projects.

Please note:
• Meet at 10:30am at the Information Centre, The Pump House SN7 7HL.
• The guided tour takes 45 minutes to an hour.
• The tour is on flat, paved surfaces with some inclines and curbs.
• Parking – there are car parks a short walking distance from the town centre.
• Wear comfortable clothing for a walk around a town.
