The Eton & Castle ward sits on the north bank of the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, in Berkshire. It includes the historic market town of Eton and the slopes and motte that adjoin Windsor, offering narrow streets, riverside walks and frequent views across the water to Windsor Castle.
Culturally and economically the area is dominated by Eton College, whose college buildings and events give the ward a distinctive character and attract visitors alongside tourists coming to see Windsor Castle. Local life mixes small independent shops, cafés and historic pubs with Georgian and Victorian housing and some modern developments; many residents commute to London, and community groups are active in balancing conservation, tourism pressures and everyday neighbourhood needs.
