From coastal paths to market towns and countryside loops, these are some of our favourite walks from our front doors that end with fluffy roast potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding!

Here are our top five ways to spend a rainy (or not-so-rainy) afternoon in our neck of the woods.

Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, shared adventure or thoughtful gift, Valentine’s Day is a lovely excuse to spend time together.

Celebrate Constable's 250th anniversary by exploring his neck of the woods - all with a country pub and a pint at the end!

This year we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the great landscape artist John Constable. Born in East Bergholt, he spent much of his life painting landscapes in and around Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. To honor his legacy, we will be hosting upcoming events, have created an ideal itinerary, and have created a walking map to take in some of his most iconic painting spots.

Nestled in the heart of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the rolling landscapes that inspired one of Britain’s greatest artists, John Constable, are waiting to be explored. Start your journey with a stay at The Crown, Stoke-by-Nayland, and finish in the charming village of East Bergholt, that The Red Lion calls home.

Is there anything better? A long old stroll over crisp fields and through woodland, letting your four-legged pal off the lead to explore, all before bundling into a cosy pub with roaring fire and winter warmers on the menu. We can't think of much better...

Winter is the time to slow down, wrap up warm and try something new. From family days out and bracing walks to nights at the theatre and creative workshops, the East of England is full of reasons to get out and discover more this season.

We caught up with Saima Khan, ie The Hampstead Kitchen, to find out more about the tips and tricks for hosting.

The Cottage, tucked away in the old pump house at The Maltings, is a thoughtfully reimagined space made for calm and restorative moments. Find out more through the women who know it best, Jemma, owner, and Katie, beauty therapist.
