Eastleach Martin

Over 60 listed buildings dot the landscape, from farmhouses to cottages, creating an architectural walk through centuries of Cotswold life. The two communities—Eastleach Turville and Eastleach Martin—feel intimate and interconnected, making them perfect for a gentle exploration on foot. You'll find genuine village character here rather than tourist polish, with the river crossings offering lovely spots to pause and take in the surroundings. Walking between the two settlements gives you a real sense of how these communities have developed over time, with each building telling its own story. The River Leach itself is part of the appeal, small and unassuming but central to village life. It's the kind of place where you can spend an afternoon wandering the lanes without any particular agenda, discovering stone walls, local history, and the rhythms of working village life. Situated between larger market towns, Eastleach makes for an accessible stop if you're exploring the wider Cotswolds region.
