Geography
The village, which is about above sea level, lies at the headwaters of two streams that run east into the River Nene. Farthingstone is equidistant from both Daventry to the north west, and Towcester to the south east. To the north of the village, towards the village of Everdon, there is extensive woodland.
Recreation
There used to be an 18-hole golf course but this was sold and then closed pending redevelopment into a high end lifestyle retreat. Every summer, the Farthingstone Foot Fest takes place, which is a marathon and other shorter distance events, and aims to raise money for charity. The course takes walkers or runners over a number of stiles and through kissing gates in a figure of eight loop around the village.
