Castle Eaton is a small Wiltshire village located between Swindon and Cirencester, and home to The Red Lion, which is reputed to be the first pub on the River Thames. Quiet for most of the year, the village sees an increase in activity for a few weeks in the summer as the Royal International Air Tattoo takes place in nearby Fairford in July. Occasionally walkers can be seen making their way along the Thames Path, which winds between the nearby towns of Cricklade and Lechlade. The village has St Mary’s Church – locally known as The Lady on the Thames, children’s playground and a part-time Post Office in the village hall. Usually, you will find this coincides with a coffee morning where everyone is welcome – even passing walkers!
