Castle Eaton, Swindon, SN6 6LD

Castle Eaton is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England. It lies on the River Thames about 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Highworth. Historically it was governed by the former Wiltshire County Council, but since 1997 it has become part of the Borough of Swindon. The Thames at Castle Eaton forms both the northern boundary of the parish and the county boundary with Gloucestershire. As a civil parish, it has its own local identity while being administered within the larger Swindon borough. The village’s proximity to the river and to the county border gives it a distinct geographical character, and its inclusion in the SN 6 postal district places it within the broader Swindon area for services and amenities.
