Landscape Natural England has designated the area as part of The Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire Claylands (NCA 88).

Eyeworth lies on a ridge of land that forms part of the watershed between the River Ivel to the west and the Rhee to the east.

[3] Geology and soil type The centre and west of the parish lie on boulder clay; with gault to the east.

The widow of Francis Bacon, née Alice Barnham, lived in Eyeworth following his death, and she died there in 1650.

There were a number of minor skirmishes in the parish during the Civil War and it is reputed that Oliver Cromwell visited the village and damaged some of the church's icons.

The village is home to a medieval church dedicated to All Saints whose building dates back to the fourteenth century, and is partly constructed from Totternhoe stone.

The church's fifteenth-century spire was destroyed by lightning in 1967, and after the subsequent theft of the lead from its roof was replaced by a much smaller modern turret.

Notable residents include Sir Peter Kendall, ex President of the National Farmers Union, who farms the land around the village with his brother Richard.
