Farthinghoe is a small rural village and civil parish in West Northamptonshire, set in the gently undulating countryside of Northamptonshire close to the county boundary with Oxfordshire. The settlement is surrounded by arable fields, hedgerows and public footpaths and sits within easy reach of market towns such as Brackley and Banbury, making it popular with walkers and people seeking a quiet country base.
Historically agricultural with medieval origins, Farthinghoe still retains a number of historic buildings and a village focal point around its church; today the local economy is a mix of farming, small local trades and commuters who travel to nearby towns. Community life is typical of an English village, with a village hall, church activities and occasional local events that keep a strong social fabric despite its modest size.
