Farndon sits on the English bank of the Dee, facing the Welsh village of Holt across a fine medieval sandstone bridge — a good spot to lean on the parapet and watch the river slide by. St Chad’s church stands on a low sandstone outcrop above, and there’s a riverside walk and a couple of pubs. Aldford lies upstream. Wrexham Central is the nearest station, about 9km to the south-west.
