Farndon Scouts

Activities and how to join the 1st Farndon Scouts.

Psychogeographic Review - The Chalets of Farndon

I was alerted to the existence of the river chalets near Farndon by Psychogeographic Review reader, Rob, who wrote about them in his response to a piece I wrote after one of my River Dee walks.  The chalets at Farndon are an expression of the ‘plotlander’ movement of the inter-war years whereby city dwellers acquired small plots of land in rural areas and built their own country retreats, largely free of any planning constraints.  The movement effectively ended with the onset of the Second World War and the tighter town and country planning regime that was introduced in its aftermath.

Dandelions Day Nursery & Family Centre

Dandelions day nursery and family centre, in Farndon, is a home from home for all the children, combining loving care with the best education which is inspiring and tailored to each individual child. At Dandelions we are making the most of both the indoor and outdoor space to create a vibrant and exciting centre, where young children can learn, grow and develop in a caring, loving environment. We have tried to make our setting as flexible as possible to meet the differing requirements of the families who use our centre. We have expertise in providing for each child’s individual learning and for additional needs.

The Old Bakehouse B & B Guest House

The Old Bakehouse is situated in the attractive village of Farndon about eight miles south of Chester on the banks of the River Dee, which forms the border with Wales. The building dates from about 1780 with later additions (and plumbing). It was originally a shop and a bakery known as ‘Harrison’s Stores’ and was in use as such until 1986 after which it was sympathetically converted into a family home. The original bread ovens are still in the kitchen although no longer used for baking bread or for the villager’s turkeys at Christmas, which was another popular use!
