THE VILLAGE
In Farndish itself.
Just across the road from the Manor, you'll find Saxby's Cider — offering cidery tours, a tap room bar (also available for wedding hire), and a regular calendar of events including PYO pumpkins, classic car meets, food fairs and comedy nights.
Lovely local walks — some with a pub at the end — wind through green lanes and rolling fields, perfect for unhurried mornings. Padel enthusiasts will find two indoor courts at Podington Padel in the neighbouring village.
