A View from the Tower
|
A view from the top. Certain biographies of the 17th century mapmaker John Speed (a Farndon man) suggest he practiced his early skills by surveying the village from the top of the church tower. Here is a selection of modern views which make interesting viewing.

The River in Flood
|
River levels fluctuate throughout the year and high-water levels are not uncommon, which can occur two or three times a year. In January 2021, the Dee reached a height not witnessed since 1982, and resulted in the closure of the bridge solely due to safety concerns.

Holt & Farndon Community Archaeological Project
|
Townfield Lane site- a Roman Fortlet?
A cross border archaeology project has been launched for the communities of Holt & Farndon, giving people the chance to discover and get hands-on with their local history. The site lies at the bottom of Townfield Lane near the bank of the Dee and may well be associated with the Roman Tile and Pottery Works upstream at Holt. Full details here.
