Eydon is a small, rural parish in West Northamptonshire in England, set in rolling countryside close to the Northamptonshire–Oxfordshire fringe. The settlement has a compact, historic core of traditional cottages and farm buildings surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows, making it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet village environment while still within reach of larger towns.

Historically agricultural, the parish retains a strong village identity with community activities centred on the church and village hall, and a mix of long‑standing farming families and commuters who travel to nearby centres such as Banbury and Daventry. The combination of quiet lanes, local history and a small but active social life gives Eydon the character of a classic Northamptonshire village.
