Home of Constable, Gainsborough and Munnings, the Stour valley is too beautiful to be hurried. Take a boat along the Stour, walk Constable's paths to Flatford Mill and Dedham, cycle along quiet lanes and enjoy local produce and fine wines in the many excellent restaurants and pubs.
Red sailed wherries once carried goods down the Stour Estuary and along the coast, wool carts crossed the toll bridges over the Suffolk to Essex and on to London. The natural beauty was over the centuries augmented by its wealthy merchants who created fine churches, exquisite country houses and charming Tudor cottages. Stay a while and experience the Stour valley.
Rowing or sailing there is great fun to be had for all the family. Walking or cycling - there are quiet country lanes and bridleways and loads of designated cycle routes. On the Essex Suffolk border you are never far from adventure - visit Colchester Castle and the Suffolk coast.
