Eaton Bray is a small village and civil parish in Central Bedfordshire, England, set in rolling countryside within easy reach of Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard and within commuting distance of London. The locality combines farmland and attractive lanes with access to nearby walking country, and the village itself retains a village green, a historic church and a compact high street of local shops and pubs that give it a distinctly rural but connected feel.
There are medieval roots to the place - earthworks mark the site of Eaton Bray Castle and the parish church dates back many centuries - and today the economy mixes agriculture with small businesses and a large commuter population. Community life is lively for a village of its size, with active clubs, a village hall and annual events that reflect local traditions and a strong sense of neighbourliness.
