The ancient village of Nonington is nestled within a valley on the edge of the North Downs. It is surrounded by  gently rolling hills and farmland, a scene that is quintessentially the Garden of England. The village does still have a traditional pub (The Royal Oak) which is a ten-minute walk from Farthingales.

The picture here shows Farthingales in a bygone age.

There is a useful website for the village http://www.nonington.com/  which highlights local and more distant places of interest which are well worth visiting. The website also diaries events in the village and locality, such as firework displays and village festivals.

For those with an interest in history there is some background historical information included in the website some of which refers to the Old Draper's shop (see below) at Farthingales, now the Bed and Breakfast.
