Walk in the footsteps of John Constable, take in the beauty in the location of his painting of The Haywain

A visit to Flatford Mill in Flatford, East Bergholt, makes for a relaxing day out on the East Coast. 

The scene has been immortalised by John Constable in his painting of The Haywain and the Mill is still recognisable to this day. Attached to the Mill, which is a Grade 1 listed Watermill originally built in 1733, is a 17th Century miller’s cottage which is also Grade I listed. The Watermill is located in the centre of Dedham Vale, a wonderfully English village close to the Essex/Suffolk border. This is part of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so take your time to savour the area.
