A far or a far ( two words ) describes one ( a ) person, place, thing or idea that is a great distance away, or remote ( far )--
"It is a far, far, better thing that I do, than I have ever done..."
Just the thought of living in a far country made her homesick.
Afar or afar ( one word ), is an old-fashioned word meaning at a great distance; a long way off--
The fire could be seen from afar, maybe even a mile away.
They could hear the sirens from afar, but they couldn't see anything.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"They walked for miles, and climbed a far hill, and from the top they could see the village from afar."
