The historic market town of Faringdon, dating back at least to the 12th century, has a thriving community and amenities such as the Leisure Centre, Library, Faringdon Community College, The Elms and Folly View primary schools, as well as The Old Station Nursery, doctors' and dentists' surgeries. Buses travel from the town to private schools at Abingdon. The town now boasts three large supermarkets.

Faringdon is also ideally positioned for the A420, leading to the A34, M40 and M4 and railway services from Swindon, Oxford, Oxford Parkway and Didcot Parkway. There is a frequent bus service through the town from Swindon to Oxford and back, linking to rail services and airports.

The Tower on Folly Hill was built by Lord Berners in 1935 and affords panoramic views across four counties. For over 20 years, the town has been twinned with Le Mêle-sur-Sarthe in France and from 2022 with Königstein im Taunus in Germany. In 2004, Faringdon became the first Fairtrade town in the South East of England.

Faringdon is situated on the Golden or Corallian Ridge, which extends between Oxford and Swindon. It is the warm, honey coloured grit used in the buildings in the area, including many of the buildings in Faringdon, that gives the Golden Ridge its name. The Ridge is made of coral-rich limestone, called the Corallian Limestone, which plays a big part in the geology of Faringdon, ranging from its affect on the landscape, to its use as a building stone. Faringdon is also home to the world-famous Faringdon Sponge Gravel, which contains many excellently preserved fossil sponges. It is one of the best places in Oxfordshire to see how the geology affects the landscape, and this provides the town with some of the best views in the county. A fossil wall runs along the rear of Fernham Gate.
