East Garston is a small downland village in West Berkshire, sitting in the narrow valley of the chalk stream River Lambourn. It lies within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a short drive from the racing centre of Lambourn and the market town of Newbury.
Historically an agricultural settlement, the village retains a cluster of older cottages and a traditional church (All Saints Church), and supports a lively community life with a village hall and annual fêtes. Its economy remains rooted in farming and nearby equestrian activity, while footpaths and riverside walks attract walkers and visitors exploring the downland countryside.
