East Garston is a small village and civil parish in West Berkshire, England, tucked into the valley of the chalk stream River Lambourn on the rolling Berkshire Downs. Its narrow lanes, thatched and flint cottages and surrounding mixed farmland give it a distinctly rural character, with many footpaths and views across downland popular with walkers and naturalists.
The parish has a long agricultural history and benefits from the racing and training economy of the Lambourn valley, while locally life centres on the village hall, church and occasional fetes and village events. The area is noted for its chalk-stream ecology and conservation interest, and its quiet social scene reflects a close-knit countryside community rather than a commuter suburb.
