Easton is a village and civil parish in the district of South Norfolk, in Norfolk, England, lying a few miles to the west of Norwich. Set in a largely agricultural landscape, it retains a strong rural character with lanes, farmsteads and pockets of traditional Norfolk architecture that reflect its long farming history.
Locally the presence of Easton College, a land-based further education centre, gives the village a distinctive educational and economic role beyond pure agriculture, while village life is marked by a small but active community, historic buildings and occasional local events. Many residents combine local farm or college work with commuting into Norwich, so the parish mixes traditional rural rhythms with modern links to the city.
