Constable Country is the site of The Haywain, the river Stour, Dedham Lock. It's the archetypical English landscape. And for a chaser – and they don't come any better – we'll explore the oldest town in Britain...with its Roman wall and gateway, its Norman castle (and the finest keep in England!)...

its Dutch quarter, its Victorian park, its ancient street market. In short, if you haven't  been there, go – because this is a very special day out!

In the Winter-Spring 2012-13 London Walks programme we go to Constable Country & Colchester on

"The sound of water escaping from mill-dams, etc., willows, old rotten planks, slimy posts, and brickwork, I love such things. Shakespeare could make everything poetical; he tells us of poor Tom's haunts among "sheep cotes and mills". As long as I do paint, I shall never cease to paint such places...Those scenes made me a painter and I am grateful." John Constable, letter to the Rev. John Fisher, 1821.
