See the Dedham Vale in a different light by visiting in the spring, autumn or winter.

Whether you're a visitor to the area for your holiday, or a local looking for a special place for a day trip, the Stour valley offers a wealth of different opportunities.

The characteristic lowland English landscape made famous world-wide by artists such as Constable and Gainsborough is still recognisable today. The charm of the villages, fascinating local attractions and beauty of the surrounding countryside mean there’s no shortage of places to go and things to see.

In order to help you get the best from your visit to the Stour Valley and in particular "Constable Country" we have prepared this information which should enable you to plan your visit. It also explains how you can help support the local communities and environment through the choices you make.
