The village of Farnham Royal sits in the south of Buckinghamshire, a few miles north of Slough and close to Maidenhead and the M4, making it a popular commuter spot for London and Heathrow workers. It nestles alongside large tracts of green-belt countryside, notably Black Park and the ancient woodland of Burnham Beeches, so despite good road and rail links the area retains a distinctly leafy, semi-rural feel.
The "Royal" in Farnham Royal reflects historic royal ownership of the manor and the village still shows signs of its long past in a parish church and several older buildings. Today it is largely residential, with local shops, pubs and community clubs, while nearby business parks and transport links shape the modern economy; the proximity of Black Park also brings film crews and outdoor enthusiasts, giving the place a quietly eclectic character.
