Historic sites with a distinctive character

One prominent building is the Church of St John the Baptist in Farrington Gurney. It was built by John Pinch junior between 1843 and 1845. The church stands in a landscape of cultivated fields and a short distance from the village. This allows you to combine a cultural excursion with views of the surrounding area, without seeing the village solely through the lens of its natural spaces.

Farrington Inn also contributes to the historic identity of Farrington Gurney. The building is listed as a Grade II listed building and is also an inn dating from the late 18th century. Farrington House complements this picture as a single house dating from the early 18th century. The three examples represent different historical connections: a 19th-century church, an inn from the late 18th century and a single house from the early 18th century.

Hollow Marsh Meadow: meadows, wetland and ancient woodland

For those interested in nature, Hollow Marsh Meadow offers a clear focus of its own. The area is a hay meadow nature reserve with wildflowers, including orchids. It consists of two wet, relatively unmodified neutral grasslands and an area of ancient woodland.

When planning your day, you should take the journey to the nature reserve into account: Hollow Marsh Meadow has no formal car park. It is recommended that you park in Farrington Gurney and walk along Pitway Lane to the nature reserve. This is a specific factor when choosing a starting point and planning a trip with children or several generations. A holiday apartment in Farrington Gurney can serve as a convenient planning reference, without allowing any particular amenities or distances of individual accommodations to be inferred from this.

Play opportunities for a varied stay

Farrington's Farm Park offers families opportunities for outdoor play in a landscape-shaped setting. The outdoor area has new play equipment and an all-weather surface. The focus here is on active time outdoors.

When choosing your holiday apartment or holiday house, you can take your preferred focus for planning your trip into account. At the same time, consider how you would like to organise the journey to each destination.
