Part of the village is in a conservation area, where many of the buildings are built of local stone and date from 1600’s to 1800’s. This gives Castle Eaton the look and feel of a small Cotswold village.

Castle Eaton has a very popular public house, The Red Lion, and a beautiful church, St Mary the Virgin, dating from the 13th Century.
