Eastington is a village and civil parish just west of Stroud in Gloucestershire, lying on the fringe of the Cotswolds and the Severn Vale. Its setting by the meandering River Frome and the remnants of old mill sites reflect medieval and later cloth-working roots, though the present landscape is a mix of farmland, pockets of woodland and small light-industrial areas.
Community life in Eastington is active, centred on a village hall, church and local pub, with clubs and events that keep a strong local identity. Many people commute to nearby towns and cities while small businesses, workshops and farms maintain a rural economy, and there are pleasant walks into the surrounding countryside offering a balance of historic character and modern living.
