Eckington is a small village and civil parish in the district of Wychavon in Worcestershire, England, sitting in the gentle countryside of the Vale of Evesham. The village has a long rural character with historic buildings and a parish church reflecting its centuries‑old agricultural roots, and lanes and footpaths that make it popular with walkers exploring the surrounding farmland and hedgerows.
Locally the economy is still shaped by fruit growing and market gardening typical of the Vale, while socially Eckington retains a village‑centre feel with a hall and pub and a strong community calendar; it is also within easy reach of Pershore, Evesham and Worcester, and not far from the edges of the Cotswolds, so it combines rural calm with reasonable commuter and leisure links.
