Eastbury is a small village in Berkshire, lying in the valley of the River Lambourn. The village stands on the old river-level road from Newbury to Lambourn; it is 1½ miles east of Lambourn and 1 miles west of East Garston. The village is situated in the civil parish of Lambourn.

Bernard's Ford on the River Lambourn is found to the west of the village suitable only for tractors and horses, but there is also a footbridge. Here the river forced its banks in July 2007 and flowed down the Newbury Road for over a hundred yards before rejoining the river. The Lambourn runs through the middle of Eastbury, and past The Plough Inn, which holds The Great Eastbury Duck Race on the river in May.[1]
