Discover Finningham

Finningham offers a journey through short circular walks, wildlife observations and a multifaceted village history. Anyone looking for holiday accommodation for their stay can explore the village according to their own interests: a walk can be combined with views of historic buildings, traditional village customs or observations of the landscape.

Walking trails with clear details

For a manageable tour, the circular route Finningham A Local Walk is available. It is 1.8 miles or 2.9 kilometres long and takes 30 minutes. Anyone who would like to allow a little more time for a walk can choose the circular route Finningham Walks: Low Meadow Plantation. This route is 2.4 miles or 3.9 kilometres long and takes 45 minutes. The different lengths and stated times help you adapt your daily planning to the walk you want to take.

Nature along the way

The character of the landscape is particularly evident in the sections around Low Meadows. There, cattle egrets, grey herons and a barn owl can be observed. The route Low Meadow Plantation also passes a protected wildlife area. This gives you a choice between the shorter circular walk and a somewhat longer route in which wildlife observations can form a focus of their own.

Village history and historic buildings

Among the defining buildings is the Church of St Bartholomew, a parish church dating from the early 14th century. It is open for prayer between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm. The former farmhouse at Green Farm also tells of the village's past: it was built in the 16th century and is listed as a Grade II building. Finningham Post Mill is believed to have been built between 1650 and 1699. These different historical references are precisely what make Finningham interesting for visitors who want to combine walks with architecture and local history.

Church Green between remembrance and village celebration

An annual village fete with several attractions takes place on Church Green, and the public is welcome to attend. The village's history also recalls a two-day fair that was held annually in September on Church Green; the last one took place in 1871. In Finningham, you will therefore encounter both a present-day event and a specific reminder of earlier village traditions.
