Eyton-on-Severn
The octagonal tower

Eyton on Severn (pronounced: Eye-ton on Severn) is a small village in the English county of Shropshire. It is located on a ridge above the northern bank of the River Severn. The significant tributory of the Cound Brook joins the Severn at Eyton, albeit on the opposite bank.

There is a historical octagonal tower here, built in 1607 as the summerhouse of a mansion. Wroxeter, the village located at a ruined Roman city, is only a mile NW of the village. The hamlet of Dryton is just E of Eyton. All lie in the parish of Wroxeter and Uppington.

There is also a horse racing track, with races held mainly on bank holidays and other special occasions.
