One of the best things about the East of England is that you’re never too far from a beach where the dog can come too.

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.
