Where you’ll be staying
FARNHAM COMMON
Slough 4.8 miles; Windsor 6.3 miles; London 27.6 miles.
Farnham Common is a quaint village resting in Buckinghamshire, located to the south-west of Gerrards Cross, and a short drive north of Slough. The village joins the rich woodland of Burnham Beeches, a great place for a ramble in nature, whilst also lying within easy reach of three superb golf courses. Dining options within Farnham Common include the traditional British pubs of the Royal Oak, the Stag & Hounds, The Foresters, and The Victoria. For your convenience, there are two local stores to stock up on the essentials, a Tesco Express and Sainsbury Local, and for a wider selection, take a brief car trip into the heart of the towns of Gerrards Cross, which boasts an arthouse cinema and lovely local shops; Slough, for an educational tour of Slough Museum; and Burnham, which straddles the beautiful Burnham Beeches Special Area of Conservation. For a day out, head to Windsor, home to the historic setting of Royal Windsor Castle, the serene greens of the Great Park, as well as an extensive array of independent cafes and restaurants. During your time in Windsor, be sure to book a trip to the Legoland Windsor Resort or pay a visit to the wonderful stream of quaint villages set along the River Thames, such as Taplow, Cliveden and Marlow.
