Farndon is a compact riverside village and civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, sitting on the eastern bank of the River Dee opposite Holt in Wales. Its setting on the border gives the place a strong historic character: a medieval bridge crosses the river, the centre is a conservation area of listed buildings and the parish church, St Chad's Church, is a focal point for local history and architecture.
The community combines farming and small local businesses with a steady trickle of visitors drawn to riverside walks, birdlife and informal watersports; many residents also commute into the nearby city of Chester. Social life is small‑scale and lively, centred on the village hall, pubs and occasional community events, with the border location adding an enduring sense of layered Anglo‑Welsh history.
