Walk this way. Down little lanes of leaning legacies. Past pargetted guildhalls. Through rural Suffolk, where history huddles up to make charming villages amidst rich rolling farmlands.


Constable Country

Mellow and quintessentially English, the landscapes of the Dedham Vale and Stour Valley on the Essex/Suffolk borders are as timeless as they are beautiful: grazing cattle on water-meadows, dancing dragonflies and bridges where time just seems to stand still with you. Add to this half-timbered villages, impressive flint churches and the very same vistas which inspired the great 18th century landscape painter himself, it’s simply a perfect combination for a few days away.


Our tours have been carefully planned to take you to the most picturesque sites and stay in the most relaxing accommodation. Whether you choose to stay for 2, 3 or 4 nights, you'll have plenty of opportunity to discover for yourself, the very special appeal of this area.
