The Tas Valley Way is a long distance footpath which links Eaton and Attleborough. It connects with Kett's Country Walk and with the Yare Valley Walk - leading through a landscape which was shaped by the Enclosure Acts and where public access is now generally restricted to roads and public rights of way. The Tas Valley Way leads through 16 villages and past 16 churches. The walk starts by the ancient bridge at Cringleford and ends at St Mary's church in Attleborough > Link.
