River 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 Plough Inn
The Lambourn runs through the middle of Eastbury, and past the Plough Inn,[2] which holds the Great Eastbury Duck Race on the river in May.
