Location:
Eydon is an attractive village set in undulating South Northamptonshire countryside, characterised by its 17th- and 18th-century ironstone cottages and established trees. Designated as a Conservation Area, the village has retained much of its historic charm and rural character, with a setting that evokes the feel of the Cotswolds.
Village amenities include The Royal Oak public house and restaurant, a parish church, village hall, sports field, and a children’s play area. Local producers and services such as Oboe Fine Wines, Dodds Manor Farm Shop, and a weekly butcher’s van add to the village’s appeal. Eydon also supports a lively community with a range of clubs and interest groups.
Further amenities are available in the neighbouring villages of Byfield, Woodford Halse and Culworth, including a community coffee shop, a butcher’s shop, and a well-regarded primary school. The larger market towns of Banbury, Brackley, Towcester and Daventry offer more comprehensive facilities and are all within easy reach.
The village is well located for road and rail travel. The M40 motorway can be accessed at Junction 11 (Banbury), approximately 11 miles away. Mainline rail services from Banbury reach London Marylebone in around an hour, with faster journey times available to London Euston from Milton Keynes.
The surrounding area offers a range of leisure opportunities, including golf at Cherwell Edge and Staverton, horse racing at Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon, and motor racing at Silverstone. Boddington Reservoir provides sailing and fishing, and scenic footpaths offer excellent walking from the village itself. Nearby Canons Ashby, a National Trust property, offers historic gardens and a café in a peaceful rural setting.
Eydon is well placed for access to a number of respected independent schools, including Winchester House in Brackley, Beachborough at Westbury, and Carrdus near Overthorpe, as well as the public schools of Rugby and Stowe.
