Constable
Country - Keep it Special A guide which
allows you to tread in the artist's footsteps by taking a relaxing walk.
There are waymarked footpaths without stiles along the River Stour
between Flatford, Dedham and East Bergholt, which form part of the long
distance Stour Valley Path. You can even follow Constable's walk to
school across the fields and feel his spirit in the rustle of the leaves
and the tranquillity of the river.
You can either download the pdf of the
guide (click on the image on the left) or you can contact VisitColchester
Information Centre for a copy.
