Farnborough is a small rural parish in West Berkshire, England, sitting a few miles north of Newbury. It occupies rolling chalk downland close to the North Wessex Downs, with hedgerow-dotted farmland, scattered historic cottages and a modest parish church that reflect its long agricultural past.
Today the community remains largely agricultural while many residents commute into the nearby Thames Valley employment centres; village life revolves around a village hall, occasional fetes and well-used footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and riders.
