Easton is a largely rural electoral ward in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, situated on the gentle agricultural landscape to the west of Norwich. The area is made up of small villages and hamlets surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows, so it combines a quiet village feel with easy commuter links into the city.
Locally the ward is anchored by the agricultural college at Easton College, which is an important employer and community hub, bringing skills training, events and an agricultural focus to the local economy. Historic buildings, village halls and a handful of pubs and small businesses contribute to a strong sense of community, while public footpaths and lanes make the ward popular for walking and enjoying the Norfolk countryside.
